Note that this explanation is present in the PEP: Currently both pip and setuptools implement multiple repository support by using the best installation candidate it can find from either repository, essentially treating it as if it were one large repository. Is it mainly that you would like the consequences of that in terms of any listed index being able to provide any requested package to be spelled out more clearly?
