I hope you'll reconsider that deprecation - flit is one of only two (AFAIK)
active attempts at making a saner build tool (enscons being the other one),

Agreed. In spite of the fact that I've been part of the pushback
you've had over flit's approach, I nevertheless feel that flit is a
major step forward in providing a user-friendly project packaging tool
for Python. Even if you don't wish to continue developing flit, I hope
that someone takes up the reins and continues to develop the ideas
introduced with flit, of having a straightforward, "do the simplest
thing needed" approach to packaging the majority of projects.
