So a nice property of this, is that degrades gracefully. The things we need in
the installer to actually make the core functionality (specifying additional
locations) work has existed for a very long time. The piece of the
functionality that they'd be missing is the UX around discovering the
additional index. We could/should probably also indicate this location on the
PyPI project page so that would help with this some.
