But if your wheels have been "lying" for years by using the wrong tag,
then it probably doesn't actually cause harm to keep on doing so for a
little longer, right?

Meanwhile, "requires a recent version of pip" is an admirable goal, but
also a very *shortsighted* goal when that pip version is not available
in venvs created on the very latest version of python3 available from
the PSF.

It seems like the primary objection in this thread is not "let's be
compatible with pip from 2014", but rather "let's be compatible with the
latest version of pip available out of the box on an optimistic python
install".

Would you be willing to rethink this until
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16782 is merged and released?

Then you could answer Florian's concern about tox environments by
telling users "upgrade to the latest version of python", rather than
"PyQt5 wheels are incompatible with tox and possibly some other
environments".
