Avoid to upgrade pip at Python level ?

Hi,

This task upgrades pip at Python level:

- name: "Update pip & setuptools for python {{ python_version }}"

If I remember correctly, one time the pip guys released a broken release of pip on PyPI.

Even if it isn't a frequent problem, it might be good to keep the bundled version of pip provided with the Python release, to avoid to need to reinstall the complete Python to fix the problem.

Moreover, it's technically possible to have a Python library where the setup.py doesn't work with the latest release of pip.

Anyway, not really a big problem ;-)

Thanks for your answer.
