I'm still a bit unsure how this works with the other libraries specified in PEP
571 (glib, libXrender, etc.). Would they be entirely dropped from a
hypothetical manylinux_2_20, so wheels need to bundle everything apart from
glibc itself? Or is it reasonable to assume that any system built with glibc
has certain other libraries available? And is there any need to specify
versions of these libraries, or is e.g. libX11.so.6 sticking around forever?
