So pip is fixed in 22.0 onward. Maintainers, anything we can do here?

Perhaps you'd want to file a bug upstream and see what they say.  Technically, I think it should be possible to patch the bundled wheels but that's a big meh.

I guess the affected versions are long gone, and in 20.26.3-r2 I'm finally removing bundled wheels (yay!).

Ok, I think we can thus call 20.26.3-r2 the fixed version. Seems highly complex to exploit, so let's call this done.
