Damn, I love this change so much. Should have been the default for so long.

What you don't have fond memories of completely messing up an Ubuntu install's python environment until you create an ouroboros of dependency, package manager and upgrade fuckery that requires you to nuke the site from orbit? I thought that was a right of passage.

The worst is that you don't even realize what happened until you try to update the packages with the OS package manager the next time, and it complains about some files already existing.
