Well, if this was the BDFL pronouncement that a lot of people have taken it to be, does that allow Martin von Lewis to give the keys to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools to the "distribute" developers, so we can get on and use the original "setuptools" name without all the confusion and hackery needed to make "distribute" work? That's absurd. There's a certain area where Guido can make pronouncements, but third-party packages is not it. Even if they're hosted on python.org infrastructure.
Right.
