Aye, the main SCL use case I'm generally interested in is layered
applications, where folks switch to using Python's library management
tools above the SCL layer, so the UX challenges around using RPM to
build atop SCLs wouldn't come into play.

However, I'm not sure the minor irritations of the official SCLs are
irritating *enough* to put in the time and energy to create and
maintain a fork indefinitely, rather than being able to just submit a
patch to fix the problems.

Cheers,
Nick.
