Whether base packages are useful or not is really a side aspect of the PEP and my proposal.
It's not whether they're useful, it's whether they're required. Your proposal *requires* base packages, and for people who intend to use pure packages, this is NOT a feature: it's a bug. Specifically, it introduces a large number of unnecessary, boilerplate dependencies to their package distribution strategy.
