PyPI has "just worked" for me, so thanks for the work you've put into
it.

My theory is that if an open-source project is fairly new and
unstable, you'll often get lots of people saying nice things about it
hoping to get help.  Then if it gets better, people shut up, since it
just does its job.  Then they get used to it just working, and start
giving abuse instead of praise when it doesn't do everything they
want.

I still occasionally get praise for my open source stuff, so I figure
I've got a long way to go ;-)
