Well, my proposal was to allow backends to decide what needs to be copied. So yes, you could do that under what I suggested (with the co-operation of the build backend). Legacy setuptools builds wouldn't provide a "this is what to copy" API, so we'd fall back to copy everything (or maybe "build sdist", but we could add a get-out clause in one of the config files, that said we're not allowed to do that on a per-project basis).
