Somewhat. I don't really object to #1, but mildly object to #2. I also note that the proposals round the Lib directory seem to have disappeared. I assume those have been dropped - they were the ones I did object to.

They are of secondary importance to me, and I would be mostly ok to drop them - but I would like to understand your objection.

I would like to know if you would object to user lib installs matching the system install. I.e., would it cause problems with you if it were just 'lib' everywhere, with no 'lib/python{version}'? It sounded like adding the version directory was the issue.
