The statement I made is based on what is currently communicated. The "terms" is purely "you need to use 2FA" (which just to be clear I already said I have no quarrels with). I cannot judge what will be the future requirements will be for critical packages. Donald Stufft from PyPI on Twitter said that he could imagine requiring signed releases (https://twitter.com/dstufft/status/1545503252871004161 https://twitter.com/dstufft/status/1545503252871004161).
> I don't get the complication here.
Maybe there is none, maybe there is. The consequence however undoubtedly is that if you do not accept the terms you lose access to your package on PyPI.

Right but I just don't get why this is notable or why anyone would ever be surprised by this, or why this would ever be controversial. I just can not wrap my head around this being framed as a complex issue when it seems so very straightforward.
