"This kind of just broke the internet."

Not really. Maybe... "This kind of just broke the hipsternet."

Indeed, I only heard about this when Armin Ronacher blogged about it via, of all channels, Planet Python. At which point I was reminded that people had, maybe still have, a tendency to build "live" against the Python Package Index and delegate all control to the game of chance involving network connectivity, server availability, whether the package is still there, and so on. At least the Python Package Index people had a long-overdue discussion about package signing, however.
