The key projects list is already aimed more at folks wanting to dive
into the details of how PyPA and the Python packaging ecosystem
actually work in practice (e.g. packaging and distlib are both listed,
and those are really only relevant to folks writing their own
packaging related tools).

The "definitely relevant to end users" list is the one at
https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/ (and after
discussing the idea with Thomas, we're not going to add flit there
until after its 1.0 release)

Cheers,
Nick.
