an option to exclude pre-releases (or in reverse, an option to allow them)
does seem overdue.
reasons not to do this? anyone? links to the most relevant
conversations/posts from the past?

it's not clear that trove classifiers is the consensus on how an installer
should know about the python version.
surfacing "requires-python" in pypi for installers (when metadata-version
>=1.2 actually becomes pervasive) seems like the right idea.
but maybe an option to look at classifiers in the short term? not sure.
