Release Backlog

[jsirois]

This is a curated list of high-value items to work into releases. It is probably not curated enough at this point and could stand a review / edit.

• [ ] Allow system_site_packages=True in Virtualenv.create() #1973
• [ ] The --compile option is only useful for Python 2.7 #1939
• [ ] Universal lock creation failure for disjoint IC and Requires-Python is correct but the error message from Pip / Pex is confusing. #1927
• [ ] The __pex__ import hook does not handle registering top level PEP-420 packages #1910
• [ ] Expose setuptools and wheel version flags for use with non-vendored Pips. #1895
• [ ] Plumb --pip-version to Platform tag calculation. #1894
• [ ] PEX_INHERIT_PATH+default shebangs don't interact well with virtualenvs #1344
• [ ] Pex interpreter cache is not upgrade / downgrade safe. #1176
• [ ] Provide a better resolve error message for a Platform DistributionTarget when --resolve-local-platforms. #1070
• [ ] Remove PEX_PYTHON_PATH from build time interpreter selection. #1075

Broken off of #2277 to make way for an --inject-env fix and a new --exclude feature.

As discussed in #2287, the prior practice of maintaining a release ticket for each release served little purpose. I've modified this issue to instead just track higher priority items to be considered for working on.

I am no longer using a backlog system - trying to just go ~inbox 0; so I'll close this.
