I can't imagine finding any such binary useful (assuming a
none-pure-Python project):  the chance that it *might* blow up makes it
easier just to create my own from the sdist.  Such binaries would tend to
bitrot, even if they were OK for the "supported" set of distros at the
time they were made.

How can such wheels be feasible, when cross-distro RPMs / .debs are
clearly not (in the general sense)?
