OK, the clients always register with me as "libraries" even though they
include the command line programs.

Are we publishing wheels for any of the service apps where python 3 is not
supported?

It seems safe to just go ahead and use the universal flag, but how much
work is it to be "correct" and only set the flags for projects that are
actually universal? What are the ramifications of not using the flag
everywhere?
