So you are fine with publishing "slightly incorrect" metadata at PyPI ? I am not.

I really have no intuition for in how many cases the data will be incorrect. However, if users find that the data is incorrect for specific package, they ought to complain to the maintainer.

I don't understand the rational behind providing flawed data at PyPI. I am -1 on that.

-1 sounds much better than vetoing it :-) Taking the votes together, I currently arrive at

Tarek -1 Michael -1 (?) Jannis -1 (?)

Jim +1 Thomas +1

Any other opinions?

Regards, Martin
