Hi Nick, I am actually missing a "goals" section in this PEP. Who can/should use the PEP's new formats and definitions? Is it meant to fit well for python2.6, PyPy, Jython, etc? Also, what the intention/roadmap for adoption, how can existing and new tools deald with or distinguish old-style and PEP426 packaging semantics? I think such "process" aspects would provide very valuable context for the many players in the field.
