Making the full detail explicit (based on a comment made on the pip issue), the default PATH should match the behaviour of sys.path (so that "pip" and "python -m pip" always execute the same thing). So we have C:\PythonXY before %APPDATA%\PythonXY\Scripts before C:\PythonXY\Scripts (matching stdlib before user site-packages before system site-packages). And user site-packages is versioned because everything else is. The PATH setting is purely an installer change, of course - only versioning the user scripts directory affects the core.
