I believe that the current situation is as close to consensus as we will get on distutils-sig, and in the interests of avoiding months of further discussion which won't take things any further, I propose to allow final comments from python-dev and then look for a final decision.

I don't see any information in the PEP for alternate proposals that were made during its drafting. It's customary to explain what alternative proposals have been advanced, and give the PEP champion's explanation of why they weren't chosen.

This is, of course, in the interests of forestalling further repetition of those same discussions.
