It seems like it'd be a good idea to start integrating distutils2 into python trunk immediately after the 3.2 branch is cut, then. +1 from me.
+1 too.
Just to clarify my position in a few sentences:
- I was told not to progressively change distutils
- the PEPs for my changes were accepted under the condition that the changes would be made in distutils2
- PEP 384 is yet another accepted PEP, why the rule would change - because it's a small feature ?
- I have tons of small features I had to revert and push back in distutils2
If Martin changes make it into Distutils1, I am going to ask that a collection of small features that I have should go there too, because they "should not break things"
