What would be really nice is if the new specification came with a behavioural test suite (e.g. defined with a project like behave) that a build system developer or project owner could run to check all relevant pip commands are handled correctly for a given package. A spec can be ambiguous, but a behavioural test suite sets a minimum bar that build systems can readily check themselves against. Cheers, Nick.
