To me, a "proper Python package" is something I can install with "random-python -m pip install blah" that pulls a binary wheel off PyPI that just works. If we're getting close to being able to do that, which would absolutely amazing, then why not wait until that's done so we can ditch sage-the-distribution completely? While I understand the dislike for sage-the-distribution, removing Python (and perhaps some other collection of spkgs) creates sage-the-kinda-distribution which is less useful and, I suspect, even more fragile.
