Nathaniel's comment about how this might actually give pip a leg up on conda also sounds nice to me as I have enough worry about having a fissure in 1D along the Python 2/3 line, and I'm constantly worried that the scientific community is going to riot and make it a 2D fissure along Python 2/3, pip/conda axes and split effort, documentation, etc.

If it helps you sleep: I'm confident that no one is planning this particular riot. It takes little work to support pip and conda - the hard issues are mostly with building, not installing.

Smaller riots like breaking ``python setup.py install`` recommending ``pip install .`` instead[1] are in the cards though:)
