Not an argument. It is in the interest of all serious Python developers
that Python packages are maintained in a proper way on PyPI
(documentation, hosting, metadata etc.). Having a package on a private
server is often a single-point-of-failure and not acceptable for
professional deployments. My point about this: if a person does not want
to host its package on PyPi than it should stay away from PyPI. Package
hygiene and a certain level of professional package repository is more
important and personal reasons for not hosting packages on PyPI.
