For all platforms *except* Windows, wheels are essentially caches -- there is no real reason to distribute them via PyPI at all, because OSx and Linux develpoers will have tools to build them from sdists. Pip *does* need to allow installing them on those platforms, but probably only via explicit paths / URLS (rather than finding them on PyPI).
