Re: V3 PEP-draft for transitioning to pypi-hosting of release files

sounds good to me.


It is expected that tools in this release may choose to change the

>

so, *eventually*, the /simple interface (that has been transitioned to only
serve pypi links) could be deprecated?
(because new tools would be smart enough to responsibly navigate
 /simple/-with-ext)

but slightly ironic that we'd be left with an interface called
"simple/-with-ext", given the goal of all this, but it makes sense.
