Yes. If you haven't tried running a mirror of PyPI lately you're
likely not to have noticed, but the various nightly builds for
tensorflow seem to be the majority of the data on PyPI now. I'm sure
it's a very neat and useful tool, but we basically had to switch
from mirroring PyPI in our CI system to using a caching proxy
because of this.
