PEP withdrawn
=============

This PEP was withdrawn by the authors on 2025-01-31. Our reading of the sentiment in the discussion
thread is that, while the problems this PEP attempts to solve are valid, most folks would prefer a
different approach. Specifically, our read is that most users would prefer more control over the
ability to specify multiple indexes, how those indexes interoperate, and the priority and trust
assertions for those indexes. For example, solutions such as :pep:`766` may provide a better way
forward. Existing stop gap measures (e.g. PyPI limit increase requests and the `"wheel-stub"
<https://pypi.org/project/wheel-stub/>`_ approach) are sufficient -- if not ideal -- in the
meantime. The authors wish to thank everyone who contributed to the constructive discussion, and
especially those who showed their support for this PEP, both in public and private.
