That sounds like you're supporting PEP 561 as is, right? Excuse my ignorance, but where are API testing stub interfaces described or used?

Something that was raised indirectly in https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/4164 was the terminology collision between type hinting stub files, and API testing stub interfaces. I don't think that's actually a problem, since type hinting stubs will only contain interface files, and not regular source files. This means that a type hinting stub could later be expanded in scope to also become an API emulating testing stub, and the two use cases wouldn't conflict (I'm not commenting on whether or not that would actually be a good idea - I'm just noting that PEP 561 claiming the "-stubs" naming convention on PyPI doesn't close out that option). Beyond that, I think the other points I raised in the Warehouse tracker issues can be considered derived requirements arising from the PEP acceptance - if anyone tries to use the window between PEP 561 being accepted, and the related permissions being enforced in PyPI to squat on stubs-related project names, then PEP 541 provides a mechanism for addressing that.
