[Zope3-dev] Re: z3c.widget not on pypi?

[Stefan H. Holek]

I fully agree that such eggs should not have been released into the  
wild. It is just that, down here in real-life, these eggs *have* been  
released, and their versions *have* been nailed (not nailing the  
versions of *all* eggs means saying goodbye to the idea of  
reproducible buildouts).

By deleting a released egg (as opposed to superseding it with a  
"good" version) one potentially creates a lot of pain for a lot of  
people.
