[Python-Dev] new binary wheels PEP idea

[Steve Dower]

And for what it's worth, most of the really active contributors from 
distutils-sig seem to prefer the "Packaging" category at 
https://discuss.python.org/

If you'd prefer to use Discourse, I'd suggest posting there first and 
also email distutils-sig with a link to the discussion. Otherwise, go 
straight to distutils-sig (just don't be too surprised if you don't seem 
to get much traction there or if someone restarts the discussion on 
Discourse for you).

Cheers,
Steve
