No build script control though.
Yep. That remains the norm with Python source distributions as well. It’s a hard thing to overcome when it’s baked deeply into packaging assumptions.
Yeah, my point is just that other package managers aren't in a great spot. NPM even lets you separate out "publish" and "release" now where you can publish to the registry but you have to separately "ack" that to release. That's kinda a huge win if people use it.
I just think the framing that npm is so bad is really flatly invalid.
