Concrete extension use cases I have in mind that don't fit in the exports/entry-point data model:
- the mapping of prebuilt executable names to wheel contents - platform specific external dependencies and other hints for conversion to platform specific formats (e.g. Windows GUIDs) - metadata for build purposes (e.g. the working directory to use when building from a VCS checkout, so you can have multiple projects in the same repo) - project specific metadata (e.g. who actually did the release) - security metadata (e.g. security contact address and email GPG fingerprint) This is why extensions/exports were originally separate, and may still remain that way. Cheers, Nick.
