I think so - once the Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS ecosystems
share a common way of doing things at the distro level, it's often
easier to make the case for changes upstream as "general Linux
integration improvements", which sidesteps arguments against
maintaining "distro-specific workarounds" in upstream tools.
For what it's worth, Solaris 11 puts OS-packaged Python modules in, e.g., /usr/lib/python2.7/vendor-packages, leaving /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages for pip. Another variation on the same theme. Their OS package manager is written in Python, too.
