I'm quite sure that virtualenv is used to deploy python on production.

Pip 7 automatically creates wheel packages when no build wheel package is
available on PyPI. Examples numpy and any pure python package only
providing a tarball.

For me it makes sense to embed wheel in ensurepip and to install wheel on
production systems (to install pacakes, not to build them).
