I frankly don’t give a fuck about PyPA at this point. They’ve proven themselves to be largely irrelevant in this context. Anything they get their hands on just seems to rot, so I’d unfortunately like them to stay far away from this. It pains me to say this. It’s against my philosophy. But it’s merely a reflection of the current state of things. I’ve been working with Python full-time for a decade. Other packaging ecosystems have essentially lapped Python’s.

At this point I also don’t care about nuances like “is it execution issues with PyPA, or that their set remit is faulty?” I’m sick of getting drawn into that stuff, too.
