Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've a feeling you once said you'd tested distil against all the packages on PyPI (which is a mammoth task, so I could easily be wrong...) If you did, it'd be interesting to know which packages caused issues, and what proportion of the whole that constituted. It's very easy to say things like "most packages are probably OK", but it's hard to get concrete data (and even harder to get a view on whether any "important" packages are affected).
