A typical installation should have no or very few .pth files or something is

I'll say! I think .pth files are absolute evil and I wish they could
just be banned.
+1 on anything that makes them closer to going away or reduces the
possibility of yet another similar feature from hurting the
comprehensibility of a python setup.
