Why are there comments on PyPI? Moreso, why are there comments which I cannot control as a package author on my very own packages? That's just absurd.
It's my package, and so should be my choice if I want user input or not. And ratings? I thought it was the Python Package Index, not the Python Anonymous Package Tribunal. As I see it, there are only two ways to fix these misguided steps of development: throw them out, or make them opt-in settings. The comments I simply do not understand. Why not instead provide a form for mailing the package author? The ratings are just not what PyPI should be doing, is about, or what I signed up for.
See the various catalog-sig threads on this topic.
