Pypi does brownouts for legacy tls
Nice! Reading through the maintenance notices on my status page aggregator I learned that PyPI started intentionally blocking legacy TLS clients as a way of getting people to switch before TLS 1.0/1.1 support is gone for real. Here is a quote from their status page: In preparation for our CDN provider deprecating TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 protocols, we have begun rolling brownouts for these protocols for the first ten (10) minutes of each hour. During that window, clients accessing pypi.python.org with clients that do not support TLSv1.2 will receive an HTTP 403 with the error message "This is a brown out of TLSv1 support. TLSv1 support is going away soon, upgrade to a TLSv1.2+ capable client.". I like this action as a good balance of hurting as much as needed to help end users to stop putting of updates.
