Oh, so we're talking here about bundling the ucrt installers and then if the user doesn't already have ucrt installed system wide, we will install a local copy, but if they do, we don't do anything? If we install a local copy, then it'll be used until the user installs a system copy, at which point the local copy remains but gets ignored, correct? That seems OK, although I can see a local copy that's not used being confusing - but it's for very few users so no real issue.

I'm not sure what you're saying for venv/virtualenv though? Presumably they will need to copy the local copy if it's present, but that local copy will be ignored if there's a system copy?
