Comment:
W2000 Logo compliance is a non-goal.

Some of these may be nice (e.g., using MSI when available), others will never happen (installing into "Program Files" -- that (a path with an embedded space) is the dumbest conceivable place to install an app users want to run from a cmd line -- Python *used* to get installed there, and dealing with the space was a major barrier for newbies).
