One of the features in the original PEP was the ability to produce multiple
different Wheels from the same source release much like how Debian does. e.g.
numpy-1.0.newsdistthing could produce numpy-pyopenblas-12.6.whl and
numpy-mkl-7.8.whl, etc etc where there would be a bunch of names/versions that
would differ from the name/version of the original sdist thing that was being
proposed.

​Sorry if this sounds obtuse but isn't that useless overspecialization? They can just publish `numpy-mlk` and `numpy-​thatblas` or whatever on PyPI, and that will even work better when it comes to dependencies. I mean, if you build something for `numpy-mkl` then it wouldn't work on a `numpy-otherblas` anyway right?
