Yes. The people willing to work on packaging in Python, to be exact.

why would you expect a different datapoint ? I wasn't expecting a different datapoint, I'm pointing that shipping packaging in the stdlib would provide a much better exposure.

But not if it's not ready for prime time. (And providing the finished distutils2 for Python 2 will provide even better exposure at the moment.)
