OK. Unless we change pip, that means that the PEP would be suggesting that tools use a behaviour different from pip. I'm not comfortable with that (which is why I left the choice unspecified) but nor has anyone convinced me that pip should change. Real world experience with 2b in pip 10 has shown very little in the way of actual issues reported by users, and we (pip) *do* want to make isolation the norm in the long run. I understand your theoretical point, though I don't think it beats the practical considerations.
