Doesn’t that sound bizarre? I have never heard of such a thing. The builds should be immutable

No?

Again, can you think of any packages managers that have a finalize step like you’re describing?

All the package managers I’m aware of do one of two things:

1. You push once with everything baked in.

2. You push as many things as you want forever.

Python releases can sometimes have many different package files (for example, because each platform can have its own wheel), which makes the first option pretty challenging.
