Is "paperman" a Disney reference, or something else?

I presume the way "wheel install" works is orthogonal to the scheme for
handling different categories of data - "distil install", for example, does
per-user installs by default. Are the proposed implementations just a proof of
concept, to validate the usability of the implemented scheme? What is the
envisaged timeline for proposing/agreeing specifications for how the file
categories will work cross-platform? I'm bearing in mind that there might be
other implementations of installers which would need to interoperate with any
file category scheme ...
