2 years ago Hi! Thanks for the request. The PyPI moderators are in the process of developing a few guidelines for the creation of new Framework classifiers. Because removing classifiers is very difficult, and the longer the classifier list gets the harder it is to browse, I think we're expecting the bar to add new ones to be relatively high. Currently, we're looking at these guidelines:
- New Framework classifiers should be created if they are "notable;" and
- They will be of immediate use to existing projects (in other words, no creating classifiers simply in anticipation of future uses)
We understand that "notability" is subjective and we'd appreciate help judging that.
As to the other guideline ('immediate use to existing projects'), it's been suggested that
- Requestors can demonstrate this by providing links to 10 or more existing PyPI projects that have expressed a desire to use the classifier; or
- Another way to demonstrate this would be to have 10 or more other project maintainers submit comments on the requesting issue about their desire to use the classifier.
Thanks!

Request to add a new Trove classifier.
Topic :: System :: Hardware :: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)Topic :: System :: Hardware :: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) :: DeviceTopic :: System :: Hardware :: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) :: InitiatorWhy do you want to add this classifier?
I am working on a SCSI toolkit that I plan to release on PyPi (Squishy) and as it stands the very few entries under the
Topic :: System :: Hardwareclassifier fall short of allowing a full and accurate description of the project.In addition this would also allow for the more accurate categorization of other projects on PyPi that deal with SCSI but do not have an apt classifier for them.
