Is this state "closed" per 
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-October/022855.html or 
"languishing"  per 
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-March/117946.html ?

I would add a belated "me too" to the "2. Change 'Scripts' to 'bin'" part for 
consistency, but it seems that the decision has been that the consistency 
benefits don't outweigh the breakage.

I would have thought that a directory junction (mklink /j Scripts bin) would 
have obviated the installer breakage concern in 
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-October/022855.html , 
especially given that wheels, which would not be subject to this concern, are 
coming along nicely.

Is there any appetite to revisit this decision?
