Awesome! Thanks everyone :-)

Of course, as soon as this happened I discovered two small but
substantive bugs in the text...

- the text refers to 32-bit linux as "i386" (because I foolishly
trusted PEP 425); it turns out that on any modern system the platform
tag is "linux_i686".
- there was a small bug in the is_manylinux1_compatible sample code,
because I missed that distutils.util.get_platform() uses a hyphen
separator instead of an underscore. (But now the sample code is
running as part of the test suite for the docker image, so I know it
works.)

Both are fixed in the diff that I just sent to the pep editors:
