- Should the distutils support for LIMITEDAPI be part of the pep, or be implemented later? In any case, it has to be implemented in Distutils2, not in Distutils. Distutils is frozen and just in maintenance mode.

I think it's too late for that. PEP 3149 is accepted, and it does specify a change to distutils (namely, the abi= parameter). ISTM that an approved PEP will override the distutils code freeze.

For Python itself we can backport the feature in its setup.py, until Distutils2 is back to the sdtlib

This won't be for python itself, but for extension modules.

Regards, Martin
