Oh, I share the same concern! Though users could already mess up Python pretty
badly by shadowing/overwriting parts of it, so I didn't thought it would be
that big of an issue. Is there a way to achieve this while still allowing us to
do everything we want?

No worries. It was my fault, I should have been more attentive to the Python
release timeline.

Perhaps we could add an option to enable only vendor site schemes?

I mean, there is, though not as straightforward as -S/-I. I was planning on
using it to build the distro entrypoint scripts, so that they only include the
distro packages.
$ python -S
> site.addsitedir(sysconfig.get_path('purelib', 'vendor'))
> site.addsitedir(sysconfig.get_path('platlib', 'vendor'))
As I mentioned above, we could add a cli flag to do essentially the same.
