me: *looks up project on PyPi*
said project: hi, yes, we're confident enough to explicitly add the "Development Status :: 6 - Mature" Trove classifier.
also said project: *has failing builds on master*
errr, y'all got some strange definitions of a mature project.
I legitimately don't understand why so many projects have this problem!
i regularly start projects, get past the prototype stage, then set it up so PRs that would cause master to fail can never get merged, even accounting for semantic conflicts with bors.tech
