I'd hope it gets into 3.8.2 which is planned in around a month:

Not only - as per my previous mail, a "python -m venv .venv" with Python 3.8.1
results in an older pip, even if your system-wide pip is up to date.

I guess you could advise people to first do a ".venv/bin/pip install -U pip"
every time after creating a virtualenv (even if their "normal" pip is up to
date), but that seems kind of unexpected to me.
