I think this is resolved by now, responding anyway:

I don't see any immediate advantage. The problem that the PEP addresses
typically doesn't exist on Windows.

Is the rephrasing done already?

I still wonder why you suggest /usr/share should be used, when the FHS
says it should be /usr/lib. This keeps confusing me, despite not being
part of the specification.
