My feeling is that in the current context we're talking about "minimal set of files needed to build the wheel". That's not precisely a sdist (because it ignores additional files that the user might want to include like README, COPYRIGHT, or tests) so doesn't satisfy the use case for something like "twine sdist" - but I don't see how we can do that without getting sucked into the full "sdist 2.0" debate, which really is off-topic for this PEP.
I would be fine with specifying a hook to copy only the files needed to build the wheel, but if we do that, let's not call it 'sdist' or anything that suggests that.
