Putting myself in their shoes though (and ignoring their larger than average resources), the standards here are taking a while to get invented and settle.

If the standard empowering this wasn’t over 2.5 years old and it wasn’t about serving static files then I would agree.

@jsirois

Suffice it to say - the Poetry / PDM style lock would greatly benefit from your Consistent-Metadata proposal, but it will take a while for that to be useful in practice while it becomes eventually prevalent.

That’s fine. We measure uptake in years.
