Need I explain that if you arrive at such a title you would have to reevaluate if it's worth posting at all? Apparently I need to explain it. ;)

This article is more or less pointless anyhow. Using better terminology would have made that clearer much earlier in the process IMO.

This "article" is a 10+ year-old website that's been tracking an ecosystem-wide migration from one style of preparing python code for distribution to another, more robust style of preparation.

This would have been an awesome introduction paragraph! Would immediately give context to bystanders like myself.
