@ -242,12 +242,11 @@ Copies versus symlinks
----------------------
The technique in this PEP works equally well in general with a copied
or symlinked Python binary (and other needed DLLs and the ``Include``
directory on Windows). Symlinking is preferable where possible,
because in the case of an upgrade to the underlying Python
installation, a Python executable copied in a venv might become
out-of-sync with the installed standard library and require manual
upgrade.

On Windows, if ``--symlink`` is not used, this means that if the
underlying Python installation is upgraded, the Python binary, DLLs,
and include files in the venv should be updated, or there could be
issues of mismatch with the upgraded standard library. The pyvenv
script accepts a ``--upgrade`` option for easily performing this
upgrade on an existing venv.
