I'm saying that I don't expect setuptools 0.7 to appear before Tarek's Distribute is mature and in widespread use. IOW I support Tarek's fork and suggest nobody hold their breath waiting for setuptools 0.7.

I think at this point the community should not be forced wait for you to get a new supply of round tuits. The wait has been too long already. You can stay on in an advisory role, but I don't think it's reasonable to block development or decisions until you have time. Tarek didn't think so either, which is why he created a fork, called Distribute.  So I'm not really clear on what you're trying to say here (or in the rest of the email, for that matter).
