OK, understood. Thanks for the explanation. I'm still uncertain over one thing, though. Who (in your view) is expected to be changing the defaults as part of an install? If doing so is viewed as an "advanced feature targeted at creators of distribution packages - i.e. people creating RPM/deb/MSI build scripts", then I'm fine with that, 99% of pip users won't ever see, need, or even be aware of the feature. The 1% of people who need the feature can deal with it. That's why I'm insistent on having good defaults - it's all that 99% of users will ever deal with. The 1% who customise things, will know what they are doing.
