Why do I get the feeling that most people who hate distutils and want to replace it, has transferred those feelings to distutils2/packaging, mainly because of the name?

In the end, I think this discussion is very similar to all previous packaging/building/installing discussions: There is a lot of emotions, and a lot of willingness to declare that "X sucks" but very little concrete explanation of why X sucks and why it can't be fixed.
