Well, do consider, though, that anyone not using third-party C extensions under Windows (either Windows users that are content with pure Python libs, or users of other platforms) won't have that problem. That should be quite a lot of people already. As for vendors, they have their own release management independent of ours already, so this PEP wouldn't change anything for them.
