+1 on the cleanup: reading the bug description of http://bugs.python.org/issue1533164, this will also help Jython. Now I know why we see scenarios of package with setup.cfg with optimize=1:

Indeed, this is a well-known issue. Many packages put an "optimize=1" in their setup.cfg in order to solve it. Unfortunately that breaks the setup process on Jython, since we don't support -O. And unfortunately it's not as easy to ignore the flag either, this can then break in other ways. - Jim

Add this comment to tracker if you want to be sure anyone reading it sees this ;-)
