If this would really cause such back-lash, how about: Make pip and venv part of the standard, but permit them to be omitted from "python3" as long as there is a "python3-full" package that will drag them in. Several other packages are split up like that. Pros: Only slightly less straight-forward, and hopefully incites only a small war. Cons: What does "full" really mean? Does it require a GUI subsystem, for instance (as a dep of tkinter)? Might just shift the problem. OTOH, the sorts of people who run non-graphical Linuxes are usually going to be comfortable installing python3-pip explicitly, so maybe it's doable.
