There are still use cases for distro-specific wheels, though -- some examples include Raspbian wheels (manylinux1 is x86/x86-64 only), Alpine Linux wheels (manylinux1 is glibc only), internal deploys that want to build on Ubuntu 14.04 and deploy on 14.04 and don't need the hassle of generating manylinux-style binaries but would like a more meaningful platform tag than "linux", and for everyone who wants to extend wheel metadata to allow dependencies on external distro packages then having distro-specific wheels is probably a necessary first step.
