Well, Windows and Mac OS X - we don't allow PyPI wheels for Linux at
the moment (since it turns out the compatibility tagging needs to be
updated to distinguish distros as well before that's a good idea),
although Armin Ronacher pointed out our documentation of that
limitation is rather lacking at this point in time :(

And yes, using testpypi to experiment with wheels is a good idea.
Cheers,
