Yes I am aware of that. However ensurepip is also required to maintain functionality of the "venv" module in 3.4. See the guidelines in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0453/#recommendations-for-downstream-distributors which explicitly mentions the fact that this is functionality equivalent to the same bundling that occurs in virtualenv and I've yet to see a distribution not include that and not make an exception to the bundling policy.
