Currently the story is a bit of a mess (multiple > sites with different approaches). New features in a bugfix release? You better hope the RM doesn't hear :-) That said, 2.7 will be around for a while and adding a consistent installation experience to both 3.4 and 2.7 does sound attractive and adding a new script shouldn't have that many side effects. What about backporting pyvenv as well? I guess that's way too invasive for a bugfix release.
