Thanks both. I understand (and agree) with that position w/r/t to the PEP. To take it back to a concrete proposed solution: assuming that PyPI begins approving organization accounts in the medium term (and that the majority of deletions-because-of-quota issues can be sidestepped by raising or eliminating quotas for verified orgs), do you two feel that that would be an adequate solution to the quota problem?
The reason I ask is because I’m trying to figure out how much language the PEP should dedicate to the problem of storage quotas, which is essentially an entirely PyPI-specific policy problem that might become mostly moot once verified orgs are being approved at a steady rate. If that’s the case, then my personal inclination here is to freeze this PEP until PyPI makes those changes and continue along with less emphasis placed on deletions, since the problem will be mostly ameliorated as a matter of policy.
If OTOH you don’t feel this would be an adequate solution, then I’ll work in additional language explaining the problem in depth and go back to the drawing board on tractable solutions.
