[issue19728] PEP 453: enable pip by default in the binary installers

[Donald Stufft]

Donald Stufft added the comment:

Well the PEP does state that the option will be checked by default, but I'm not arguing that we shouldn't implement uninstall if Windows users expect it, I was just trying to figure out if we needed to update the PEP.

So unilaterally removing on uninstall sounds easy enough since you said you can use wildcards and such. The other option is to implement the uninstallation inside of ensurepip and just execute ``python -m pip uninstall setuptools pip`` in that case we can check version numbers and only uninstall if the version number is equal to the bundled one.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I'm going to have time to get an uninstall command implemented before the 24th.
