"no longer taken into acount" was too strong - "has significantly less
weight due to the existence of other options" is more accurate. It's
still part of the rationale for the ssl feature backports, for
example.

Yep, one of the later steps is a build farm integrated into PyPI, so
you can just upload the tarball in most cases and you're done. We' re
still a *long* way from having that be feasible at this point, but
we'll get there eventually.
