@andrewnez@mastodon.social The only difference I can logically describe between Debian and a registry is that a stable release of Debian is a *set* of components.
So it might make sense for "pip" to have the option to update a venv by installing the newest release of each component's release stream without rebasing anything in the set.

@andrewnez@mastodon.social But I can't logically describe how PyPI could offer something more stable than it does. Who would define the release cadence? What is a set? In what way is the registry better suited to defining a set or a cadence than the application developers that pull components from it?
