I imagine that pip will retain some form of the current "pip wheel" capability that covers this requirement, but maybe as the overall picture of the new design gets clarified, this role should be captured.
Strictly speaking I would have thought "pip wheel" was a builder function which is only in pip as a transitional step, to get wheels more exposure. Is that an incorrect assumption on my part?
If some other tool provides the same functionality, I can see the possibility that pip will drop it (assuming that pip takes the route of becoming a "pure installer"). But I can't imagine pip dropping that functionality *until* some other tool is available which does the equivalent. Paul
