I initially thought 'packaging', but I also don't want to care about Python 2. :) So I haven't decided yet. At worst this just leads to a clearer understanding of how tools should do wheel compatibility matching.

If you want to get rid of all of the bundled pep425tags, you’re going to have to care about Python 2 anyways, since I think all of those projects still support it. But if the only output is a better understanding of what the semantics should be, I still think that is super valuable.
