I don't want to create a PyPI account (more account details I'll
rarely use to remember) just to vote. I can see why anonymous votes
are bad, but the sample's going to be self-selecting - people like me
who don't want to create an account will be excluded.

By the way, there's no way for me to vote that I don't care what
option ends up being chosen, but I strongly oppose choosing something
that would tend to make developers avoid using PyPI.

The distutils/setuptools/distribute/... saga has fragmented Python's
package ecosystem enough already. Let's not have PyPI go the same way
:-(

Paul.
