We've discussed the idea of changing the wheel file naming scheme to
deal with Linux previously, but never put together a concrete

The closest we've got is the idea of allowing the platform tag to be
customised in pip and perhaps bdist_wheel, and while that's good from
an "enabling experimentation" perspective, it may be overkill if the
primary goal is just to better support handling of Linux distros.
For starters, here's the current definition of the platform tag in PEP 425:
hmm, maybe you repeat the rationale here for starters?
=================
The platform tag is simply distutils.util.get_platform() with all
hyphens - and periods . replaced with underscore _ .
* win32
* linux_i386
* linux_x86_64
=================
this is already wrong for ARM32 soft-float and hard-float, and x86_64-linux-gnu
and x86_64-linux-gnux32. If something is changed, then please change that as
well, maybe using something already defined like the multiarch triplet.
