Is "paperman" a Disney reference, or something else?<br>

I presume the way "wheel install" works is orthogonal to the scheme for handling different categories of data - "distil install", for example, does per-user installs by default. Are the proposed implementations just a proof of concept, to validate the usability of the implemented scheme? What is the envisaged timeline for proposing/agreeing specifications for how the file categories will work cross-platform? I'm bearing in mind that there might be other implementations of installers which would need to interoperate with any file category scheme ...<br>
