Well just to be clear then, without resolving this issue (which, IMO, is a bug in cpio that should be fixed) it
is absolutely unsafe to ever use pip for non-local installs on fedora.

Not that i’m aware of, although it’s actually an issue where distutils and setuptools supports
two different standards here :(

Probably this needs to be resolved in Python itself to get distutils to make directories instead
of a file. Or do the same hack that pip does in order to force setuptools monkey patching to
take place and have setuptools drop them.
