Carl Meyer <c...@dirtcircle.com> added the comment:

There's no question that this is a case of virtualenv allowing users to do 
something that's not supported.

Nonetheless, virtualenv is very widely used, and in practice it does not break 
"more often". This, however, will break for lots of users, and those users will 
(wrongly) perceive the breakage to be caused by a Python security bugfix, not 
by virtualenv.

I think the purity argument is completely correct, but this certainly seems 
like a situation where practicality might nonetheless beat purity.
