Some time ago, PEP 668[1] enabled distributions to mark the python

A good rationale - question on packaging for things that fall outside
the system repos.
have several packages where in the install section of PKGBUILD it does
something like:
pipopts="--isolated --ignore-installed --no-deps"
pip $pipopts install --root=$pkgdir dist/*.whl
Will this continue to work or is there some change needed to accommodate
this change?
I didn't see "--root" discussed in reference [1]
