Not really as I've been swamped by other things... I have nothing new to add.
I don't feel particularly excited about this proposal (as it have potential 
to surprise some maintainers) but I do not dislike it strong enough to oppose 
passionately even if I have to make corrections to some packages as result.

I'd say let's go ahead and try it -- it would be great if it works for good 
or we can always revert it in the future in case of problems or complaints.

Though it would be nice if anyone else say "OK" for this proposal. I feel 
uncomfortable that nobody supported it and silence can't be interpreted as an 
agreement.

What about those who find their package(s) uploaded without even letting them 
know? Sometimes it may be OK and sometimes it may be not OK.

I'm not prepared to explain why but somehow I'm not impressed with methods 
and procedures of Python team. I remember Python team as one of few that are 
not easy to work with but that impression of mine is probably unrelated...

Indeed.
