It's not like regular tools need to break with each new Python realease. It's mostly endless tinkering, attention deficit, and bad choices.

Heck, even within the same Python release, I never understood why we need to be in the 2000+ update of pip, for example, and it needs to update itself almost every month or so. It's a ducking dependency installer, just formalize the design and protocols already and keep it at that.

(For context, I never had that issue with npm. Not to any same-order-of-magnitude comparable level at least).
