Hey Barry, I don't really understand how developers (talking about pip users, not upstream) are bombarding you about that change.
Indeed, we are transforming one use case which can't work: Remember that the patch only changes the behavior when running pip install as a non root user, which was trying to install (and gave a stracktrace) in /usr/local, where it can't write. It's only in that case (to not break scripts in particular or people running sudo pip install) that we default --user, making a use case where pip was giving an error to one where it installs package. This seems to me to only be a win to developers, not a drawback.
