The Sage distribution will continue to exist. There will be no user-visible change coming from the modularization project for the users of the Sage distribution. My reading is that your main goal is to make Sage pip-installable, but that seems independent of breaking Sage up into smaller parts. Even breaking up Sage into smaller portions for more 'precise' dependencies for these supposed downstream Python developers won't really fix B and C. It works the other way around. B and C (applied to individual Cython/Python modules) were/are _obstacles_ to making modularized pip-installable distributions. I have been fixing B and C (in numerous tickets) so that I can make modularized distributions. It didn't come for free; but I have already done most of the necessary work... and clear plans for the other work required. [...]. I am hoping you could answer the following questions in detail with your next post.
