you bring up an interesting point...

the current practice (at least here at lovely systems, and presumably  
a lot of other developers) is to add download.zope.org/distribution  
(or a mirror of it) to your find-links.
recently some people started registering packages (and uploading  
eggs ) to cheeseshop. this makes totally sense for zc.buildout,  
lovely.buildouthttp,... but i'm not sure about zope packages.
because of this mix you might end up in getting the wrong egg. or not  
finding a egg you downloaded a few days ago. in case pypi is down  
you're totally stuck.

well, i understand that the stability of pypi is much better lately  
and the simple interface, the and ppix mirrors  make the index lookup  
much faster as well.
but for me there are still two remaining issues:
- the eggs are hosted on cheesehop as well, it's not easy  
(commandline) to host the egg externally or to specify a mirror to  
use when pulling the eggs. that's not acceptable for production  
deployments.
- by default "setup.py sdist bdist_egg register upload" hides the old  
releases, which is not acceptable as we nail all versions for  
deployments. if someone releases a new version, the older ones  
disappear and buildout (with nailed versions) stops and complains not  
finding the egg.

before we don't have a solution for the two points above i have  
objections to register the packages on pypi and prefer to add  
download.zope.org/distribution to my find-links.
if there is an easy solution for it, enlighten me :)
