There's no point in making threats -- you're threatening the air. PyPI
is maintained by one overloaded developer (Donald Stufft, sponsored by
HPE as part of their openstack work) with help from a few overloaded,
burned-out volunteers. Everyone wants PyPI to be awesome and useful;
your frustration is totally understandable, and lots of us share it.
But the limitation here is that we have ~one person running a website
that serves ~100,000,000 requests/day, and running as fast as they can
just to keep things from breaking more than they already have. As long
as that's the case it doesn't matter what "should" happen, there's
no-one to do it.
