What about those people *without* versioning issues?

I have no qualms suggesting that package management programs avoid the
use of site-packages.  Such programs do need to cater to edge cases.

But a single drop-it-in directory works great for the vast majority of
*my* needs; requiring me to drink the Kool-Aid from a specific package
management system just to get access to any add-ons -- even those I
wrote myself in pure python -- would be a huge step backwards.
