+1 - I think thats a great idea. We've had to pin < setuptools 8 in
the OpenStack ecosystem too.
It would have been nice to offer some period of time where the cases
which were going to change would have warned. I realise thats
non-trivial, but this is systemic infrastructure at the core of our
dependency graph - everything that expresses requirements is affected.

I think the changes in version management in setuptools 8 are a great step forward, but I think the transition is going to hurt a lot.
For buildout, I'm thinking of of releasing 2.3.1 that reverts the changes in 2.3 and adds a requirement for setuptools <8 to give more time to respond to these changes.
