ProgramFiles for almost a decade, and can assure that none of those things you 
mention have yet happened.

Also, your security point contradicts industry best practice.  Mac and Linux 
require sudo to install system packages, with user packages and venv as 
alternatives.

That's a fine argument.

The problem is that we and others like us are not able to move to Py3 (for work) 
and won't be able to for a long-enough time that it could be considered to be 
"never".
