Nobody's asking you to "submit" to anything! We're asking for the control to decide ourselves. Look, there's already a large faction of people who just want to write off PyPI and launch our own package server instead. I'm nearly on board, but we've had enough fragmentation in the packaging world lately, and I don't want to make the project worse. But you can bet your ass that if PyPI isn't made a good, neutral, central resource I'm going to leave for one that is. Do you really want a flood of package maintainers de-listing their packages just so that things work the way you think they should? I should clarify that I'm speaking personally and not in any official "Django capacity." I don't have personal control over whether or not Django would de-list from PyPI. Django's run by a community process, and I'd listen to the voice of the community before doing anything unilaterally. It's a good idea, this community process. We might want to apply it to PyPI one of these days.
