PEP 755: Implicit namespace policy for PyPI

[ofek (Ofek Lev)]

@funkyfuture

there’s no rationale given why corporates need to meet lower standards than other social entities. imo that is deeply undemocratic.

I have alternative questions for you which will help me answer yours:

1. Do you think individuals should be able to reserve namespaces at will? Why or why not?
2. What are social entities, exactly?

@funkyfuture

given your (unmentioned) affiliation with Datadog i find the introducing example in PEP 752 irritating

I did mention here that we are donating significant engineering time during the last quarter of this year. I don’t know of another PEP that had to make such a disclaimer. I assume none do because proposals would never be accepted if they didn’t benefit the community as a whole.

As far as the example, I think it’s a quite representative one of the dangers I express in that section. Would you prefer I went all in on talking about packages of cloud providers who are owned by mega-corps with 100x revenue?

@funkyfuture

it looks like you’re pushing an agenda for a specific interest group and are too biased for a proposal that considers all interests in the community.

Please understand that this perspective ignores the fact that this feature has been requested for years and that many community projects that I outlined in PEP 752 desire this feature as well.
