[Catalog-sig] pre-PEP: transition to release-file hosting at pypi site

[Trishank Karthik Kuppusamy]

Hello Jacob,

Good to hear from you! Thanks for stating your concerns so clearly, and 
we do understand them. We agree that inertia is important to maintain. 
In fact, we are excited to show this in person to the PyPI community on 
Friday.

We expect to release a design document and a demo in a few hours. Let me 
finish my midterm, and then I will get back to you :)

Thanks,
Trishank
