From what I can tell, GitHub automatically generates snapshot tarballs
of Git tags. These tarballs are usually not real "release" tarballs that
have been prepared by the upstream maintainers. Sometimes this isn't the
case, but it seems to be for these "untitled" v$version.tar.gz tarballs.

We have tools to automatically update packages fetched from PyPi.

And using pypi-uri removes another URL that we need to maintain.

Is there a reason not to use PyPi?
