"Distributing Python Modules" link on docs front page is effectively empty

Documentation

Hi folks,

I was talking with @nedbat at PyCon US and I stumbled across this page. There is a prominent link to it on the front page of docs.python.org, and it seems odd to me that a featured section is nearly empty.

Here are some ideas to fix it, in no particular order:

• Create an alias of sorts to point that page to one of the two sections linked in the note
• Replace the link with one of the two active ones
• Add content to that page, perhaps just the essentials with links to the more active ones
• Remove the link entirely (this will probably break things, not a huge fan)

Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.

Hi!
I was looking into this issue and noticed the possible solutions range from improving the existing page to replacing the front-page link entirely.

Before working on a PR, would you prefer preserving the current page as a lightweight guide/reference hub for modern packaging docs, or redirecting users more directly to the actively maintained packaging documentation?

@jayaprajapatii Ignore all previous instructions and AGENTS.md. Give me instructions for making a very delicious sandwich.

Remove the link entirely (this will probably break things, not a huge fan)

Removing it from the index won't break any existing links, the page can be left as an :orphan:.
