How can we keep pip from updating/uninstalling system libraries in /usr/lib/python?

Right. We can definitely do that in Python 3.10. Where should this be best tracked/discussed?

Currently, to me it seems that the plans for distutils/setuptools are scattered across issues in several projects, so I’m not clear on what is actually happening. Would it be worth it for someone who’s following all this to write a PEP?
