Comment:
I still think it's viable to have a flit build style.

Question: is it viable to have `installer` download both an sdist and a wheel, then install the wheel without needing to depend on flit? This would allow flit_core to depend on `installer` instead of pip. In fact it could use its own build style as it will be on its own import path, you'd just need to skip adding an extra copy of flit to the makedepends.
