My understanding of William's goal (please correct me if I am wrong) was to put everything together so nobody was trying to build a better wheel. To me, by splitting everything up into these small pieces, it seems contrary to that goal as how is someone suppose to know the piece they want already exists? The Sage distribution will continue to exist. There will be no user-visible change coming from the modularization project for the users of the Sage distribution. That is simply not true right now. The # optional sage.* doctests as a user-visible change. My reading is that your main goal is to make Sage pip-installable, but that seems independent of breaking Sage up into smaller parts. Even breaking up Sage into smaller portions for more 'precise' dependencies for these supposed downstream Python developers won't really fix B and C. It works the other way around. B and C (applied to individual Cython/Python modules) were/are _obstacles_ to making modularized pip-installable distributions. I don't follow. Separating the components of Sage won't fix B/C, nor will fixing B/C split Sage into smaller components (which will actually make the dependency web worse).
