I agree with earlier comments that this is largely a distribution problem and that automatic functionality creates some risks.
I posted yesterday about how Windows installs having their own versions of python installed makes using tools like pip or easy_install challenging. I can see two possible ways forward: 1. Use a generic python install rather than installing its own version. This way pip and other tools will work fine. 2. Provide a tool to execute pip for the QGIS specific version of python for Windows installs (I don't know what happens under Max OS) It seems to me that option 1 would be the most obvious choice making Windows installs similar to Linux installs and simpler to add and remove libraries as needed. I think that adding more and more stuff to the OSGeo4W install doesn't make sense.
