I don't see that this issue is an argument for changing the PEP. It seems like a problem with the backend that should be supporting legacy use cases. The rule about the frontend not using the CWD to load the backend doesn't constrain what the backend does once loaded. >From my perspective, the original arguments about the CWD still stand, but in >addition PEP 517 is out now and there are tools implementing it, so it would >be more disruptive to make changes.
