I'm just getting tired having to talk to five projects just to make a single change to the build infrastructure available to the Python community. The very best hope of resolving that particular problem is distutils2. :-) distutils2 is already available to the Python community, and whether or not there is a fixed release date it will have betas and then a 1.0 release in the foreseeable future. The team working on it has made an enormous amount of progress. We're much better off as a development community putting our support and energy into distutils2 rather than pining for evolution of distutils.

Sure. But today (before 3.2b1) we want to merge PEP3149 and PEP384; they change the paths and filenames used by python. Either we modify distutils to comply with the new names, or defer these PEPs until distutils2 is ready.
