Just take a look at how long it took to break the "lock in" that setuptools had, and afaict uv doesn't _appear_ to be engaging the standards processes (I could have missed it!), which feels kinda very old Microsoft, "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish".
@dstufft @pradyunsg @glyph @chrisjrn @webology @hynek @coderanger in fairness to Astral, the packaging standards process has broken many a spirit over the years. I'm not surprised they'd consider just doing the thing and letting the userbase sort out whether it makes sense.

Astral folk are very much engaging in packaging PEP discussions on d.p.o. For example, Charlie is one of the most frequent posters on the recent lockfiles topic:
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-751-lock-files-again/59173/239 They were also at the packaging summit this year at PyCon US.
