  • Remove a reference to pip wheel, as our build frontend has been pypa/build since v2.x I believe, or at least for a long time anyway. I made the sentence agnostic to the build frontend.
  • Drop a mention of ClearLinux, as it is now discontinued and fully abandoned since July 2025: https://endoflife.date/clear-linux

Noticed when reading through scikit-learn/scikit-learn-release#1

There are wheels for Alpine, though? Should we put FreeBSD or something like that instead?

Yes, I think this section is prehistoric and may have been written at a time when MUSL wheels didn't exist on PyPI. Let me change it.
