By the way, the PEP would benefit from some clarifications and 
separation of terminology between "project" names and "package" 
names.  AFAICT, it speaks of "packages" to mean both Python packages 
and a distribution of a Python project.

Also, does pip really create a .pth file per installed package (project?)?

(Btw, I'm also not clear on the purpose of including MANIFEST in .egg-info.)
