> On POSIX platforms, platlib directories will be created if needed when creating virtual environments, instead of using lib64 -> lib symlink. This means purelib and platlib of virtual environments no longer share the same lib directory on platforms where sys.platlibdir is not equal to lib.

Sigh. Why can't they just be the same in virtual environments. Who cares about lib64 in a venv? Just another useless search path.
