That's a mis-quoting of what I said. I was referring specifically to
‘pip’ there (i.e. that ‘pip’ is both an ornery beast, and that
everything which came before it in Python is worse). I did not say, and
do not claim, that for Python's packaging.

And you've just proven the truism that it is easy to interpret someone
as supporting a position if you're willing to change what they actually
wrote.
