The actual question is: which problem are you trying to solve *that
current users are actually experiencing*?

I'm -1 on removing the "pip" command.  "python -m pip" is frankly not a
reasonable subtitution if we want to *promote* pip.

That's a problem for foreign package managers and distributions. Let
them deal with it.
