Wheel 1.0 does not have the ability to bundle multiple versions (and I
don't think tags are fine-grained enough to cover the differences numpy
need, which are at the "do you have the SSE instruction set?" level AIUI).
Multi-version wheels are a possible future extension, but I don't know if
anyone has thought about fine-grained tags.

This is precisely the sort of input that the numpy people could provide to
make sure that the wheel design covers their needs.
