The comments explaining why pip special cases itself for its launcher scripts describes this as an intermediate hack only until Metadata 2.0 happens. But PEP 426 (Metadata for Python Software Packages 2.0) was withdrawn, and there are no active metadata proposals that would remove this workaround. I've removed the references to Metadata 2.0 to avoid confusion for future readers.
