This seems like common sense configuration management 101. If I download v1.2 and it’s been published then it should be considered released and not modifiable. With exceptions for ‘dev’ releases of course. I have never published anything on PyPI but I would expect there is a publish button and finalize (?) optional button that if not checked after 14 days makes it final ?

Are there any package managers that have that kind of publish/finalize flow?

Every one I’m aware of works either as a one-shot (you have to submit everything in one push) or lets you keep adding new assets forever (other, obviously, than PyPI with the addition of this 14 day wall).
