This was introduced in pypa#156 and appears to originate in CPython via distutils via python/cpython@bea37aee6b2d. Afaict this was likely a Windows-user Freudian file-system slip but never was an issue since the PR was in 2019 which was well past the ~2009 3-way fat binary era. C.F.: + Assume packaging was right and this was a spec bug 1st: pypa/packaging.python.org#2062 (review) + Original CPython Issue introducing fat3: https://bugs.python.org/issue6245

This was introduced in #156 and appears to originate in CPython via
distutils via python/cpython@bea37aee6b2d.
Afaict this was likely a Windows-user Freudian file-system slip but
never was an issue since the PR was in 2019 which was well past the
~2009 3-way fat binary era and wheels only came along in 2013, also
well past the era; so there were never any wheels with fat3 (or
fat32!) tags.
