That's not an argument, since the decision was taken by exactly the same people. Just because you do something twice doesn't mean it was a good thing to do, especially when no sizable data was brought in support. The fact that you decided to deprecate "pyvenv" while its ancestor - the "virtualenv" script itself - was not deprecated despite existing for a much longer time hints that the issue may be blown out of proportion. In the end, I like "python -m <module name>" for many user interfaces; but for managing package installations I think it's really much too wordy.
