in order to elevate those issues i would like to propose a new installation layout, where instead of storing each distribution in every python all distributions would share a storage, and each individual environment would only have references to the packages that where "installed/activated" for them
This is also essentially what conda does - the references being in the form of hard links. The mechanism has some drawbacks of its own - like if a file somehow gets modified, it's harder to fix it, because removing the environment no longer removes the files. Thomas
