it's revews like this that makes me wonder if releasing open source is a good idea:

no egg - worst seen ever, remove it from pypi or provide an egg (jensens, 2009-10-05, 0 points) Unfortunately; we're now staring down the barrel of having youtube-style comments on Python packages on the index.

Yes, unfortunately. I originally thought that restricting the commenters to those with a PyPI account would make them useful, but seeing this one (even if it was not intended) and the comment on hgsvn that belongs into a bug tracker instead, I'm not so sure anymore.
