Incremental brownouts only work well if there is mechanisms to ensure that your service's users realize that the brownout is a deprecation warning. By default, pip doesn't show the contents of HTTP error messages [1], so users affected by the brownout would have to take extra steps (using `-v`, visiting the PyPI status page) in order to figure out what was wrong. I think it could easily appear as a networking issue or some other sort of intermittent problem. There was also no notification of the impending blackout on python.org.
