Stealth wheel update?

Hi Phil,

Is it possible you deleted one of the PyQt-sip wheels last month, and then
uploaded a new one? The macOS wheel shows a later date:
https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6-sip/#files

If so, please don't do that. Our build process pins version+hash of all
dependencies. Because the old wheel no longer appears to be available, pip
falls back on a source build instead, which fails in our setup. While the
issue can be fixed for current main by updating the hash, when we want to
build an older version for eg. bisecting, that changed hash is going to
have to be updated every time. I believe you could have accomplished this
without deleting the file by incrementing the build tag of the wheel
instead:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/binary-distribution-format/#file-name-convention

Regards,
Damien
