I think doing it initially as a downstream only change where you query
RPM will work for now (perhaps by patching the way pip handles the case
where ENSUREPIP_OPTIONS is set?).

By the time this approach is posted upstream, then PEP 426/440 will
hopefully by Final and we can just use the metadata version field
directly rather than needing to grab the release increment from the RPM
repo. (I think this situation provides a good practical use case for why
it's important to standardise this feature upstream, too).

Cheers,
Nick.
