Presently, the [Metadata-Version ](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/core-metadata/#metadata-version) section of the core metadata spec states: > For broader compatibility, build tools MAY choose to produce distribution metadata using the lowest metadata version that includes...

E.g., compare examples at https://packaging.python.org/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#packaging-namespace-packages and https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/#examples. I.e., using examples from packaging.python.org, packages will be merged upon installation, whereas the very purpose of namespace packages is to avoid this. This...
A lot of the support requests on [pypa/packaging-problems](https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems) are Windows users not being able to run the `python3` command, since it is not shipped with the official CPython distribution. (recent...
It has a few paragraphs about local version identifiers https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#local-version-identifiers where it has this *not intended for publication* phrase but doesn't clearly state that public indexes usually forbid local identifiers....
