Comment(by leif):
We could require people who update/provide new spkgs to at least check if
the upstream supports spaces in path names (I really doubt all will), and
to harden the corresponding Sage scripts in that way. But I expect this to
be a long lasting process, rather than a goal for any release in the
nearer future.
And I have absolutely no idea which "inner" parts of Sage (i.e. Python
code) might break on spaces in file or path names.
Of course users that only download and install binaries should somehow get
informed, too, e.g. directly on the download page.
