I don't think that you will like it, but I feel that a PEP will be needed here to list use cases and explain what replace .pth files for each use case. Maybe no replacement for some use cases is fine. The PEP doesn't have to be long. I also expect that it's going to be a large backward incompatible change. A PEP can summerize the rationale, schedule deprecation, etc. Any volunteer around? Barry, Nick, someone else?
