Yeah maybe this subset could be left in 3.3

and we'd remove packaging-the-installer part (pysetup, commands, compilers) I think it's a good idea ! OK, to turn this into a concrete suggestion based on the packaging docs.

Declare stable, include in 3.3 ------------------------------------------ packaging.version — Version number classes packaging.metadata — Metadata handling packaging.markers — Environment markers packaging.database — Database of installed distributions I think that's a good subset.

+1 on all of the things you said after

If you succeed on getting the sci people working on "PEP: Distutils replacement: Compiling Extension Modules" it will be a big win.
