[18:42:07] <[Tritium]> Is manylinux the end of the support story for binary wheels on pypi? I mean, is the door open to move forward with "ubuntu 16 x86_64", et. al. wheels?

[18:43:01] <dstufft> [Tritium]: the only reason we can't have ubuntu 16.04 x_86_64 and friends is because nobody did the work to define how that works exactly

[18:43:21] <dstufft> I think that it makes sense to have *both* tags, so projects can choose how they want to support things

[18:43:53] <[Tritium]> So its a matter of the problem needing some love, not a policy decision. ok

[18:44:33] <dstufft> or even choose to mix and match, (e.g. for the very most popular platforms maybe they release specific wheels that can take advantage of newer features or something, then use manylinux1 as a fallback to catch the other platforms that are still manylinux compatible but maybe aren't as popular)
