The choice to deprecate easyinstall in 0.7 is done because the Pip project is not far to meet all uses cases easyinstall users have, and we're betting on the fact that Pip is active and will be much more advanced that what we could do with a 'new' refactored easyinstall by the time 0.7 is ready.

But how about retro-compatibility? Like with all those buildout recipes which relies on setuptool APIs (Requirement, PackageIndex and so on), it's a risk to break same at some point.
