[Distutils] [Numpy-discussion] Proposal: stop supporting 'setup.py install'; start requiring 'pip install .' instead

[Donald Stufft]

If ``pip install —build … —no-clean …`` worked to do incremental builds, would that satisfy this use case? (without the —upgrade and —no-deps, —no-deps is only needed because —upgrade and —upgrade is needed because of another ticket that I think will get fixed at some point).
