The only question is, given that 2.6.x is supposed to be a bug-fix branch, do we want to fix that incompatibility with a widely deployed existing piece of software? Whether or not the incompatibility is legitimate (i.e., whether setuptools is badly written and relies on implementation details) is beyond the point, IMO.
Right. As discussed with Barry, I will work on an internal special case in Distutils in the 2.6 maint. branch so it fixes the incompatibility with the Setuptools 0.6c9 release.
Tarek.
