alt Hacker News> Nobody needed generic API tokens for PyPI either. Not now, not years ago.
It was one of the most-requested features on PyPI, but OK.
The rest of this is just ranting. I think you should develop some more perspective on this, and observe that nobody else is even remotely as bent out of shape as you are over these changes. Which, again, aren't even close to mandatory (and couldn't be even if anybody wanted them to be, which nobody does).
Most requested by whom? By PyPA members? -- these are some of the most useless people in the history of Python development. Python developer's mailing list that had people actually suggest anything useful for the future of the language / discuss features disappeared. Today, all decisions about Python are, essentially made behind closed doors by a group of people with no skill or ability, appointed to the job by MS.

I think you are willfully ignorant, and are upset that I pointed out to you how bad was the thing that you've done. I really don't need a lecturing from some shallow mind that screwed up a lot of people out of their ignorance and unwillingness to educate themselves.
