I've been thinking about this exact same point for about 3 years, ever
since I deployed that upload.cgi script into my infrastructure at
$previous_dayjob.

As a coincidence, I've spent most of today reworking the way pyrpkg
interacts with the lookaside cache, the end goal being to move away from
md5.

And with the thought of replacing that upload.cgi script in the back of
my head, I've made sure to make the code modular enough that we could
just add a new class to talk to a hypothetical Flask app you'd write in
the future.

I'm nowhere near ready to send those patches though (I'll probably need
a few more days to finish implementing it and test it properly), but be
sure that replacing upload.cgi should eventually become much easier, at
least from the pyrpkg side. :)
