PEP 825: Various clarifications#4969

Reword the ordering algorithm to avoid introducing new terms. Rather than talking of abstract "variants", operate in the terms of grouping variant wheels by their labels, and creating an additional group for non-variant wheels. Then, sorting by platform compatibility tags becomes a matter of in-group ordering. Hopefully this also avoids discussing the existing ordering algorithm.

Given it came up more than once already, I suppose it makes sense to point it out explicitly, even though it technically falls under "compatibility". Signed-off-by: Michał Górny <mgorny@quansight.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I went through all open comments; it doesn't seem like there is anything to change right now. Given that this PR is meant as clarifications and textual improvements to the currently published PEP text, it looks to me like it can be merged as is. Open comments about textual details have been answered. More substantial content discussions belong on Discourse.
