Worth noting, because I think it’s confusing some folks on this comments page, that “file” here is “a wheel for a platform” or “a complete sdist”, not “each individual .py file in a release”

You can’t go back later and add “evil.py” to a bunch of existing release files, but you could previously go find a bunch of releases that didn’t have arm64 files, publish malicious ones, and use that to catch people using those versions on arm64 systems

...why Python is just breaking compatibility so bad with new version it needs that ?
