Kind of :)

PEP 648 would definitely allow us to deprecate the executable part of pth 
files.  I let my own biases leak in to my response because I would like to find 
a way to replace the sys.path feature of pth with something much more auditable 
and discoverable.  To me that means deprecating pth files and finding something 
better, but maybe not.

In any case, this is outside the scope of PEP 648 so just pretend that part 
wasn’t in my response.
