To be explicit about one aspect of this process, I think content we
want documented going forward should only be removed once the
information has been added in its replacement form. For example, for
stuff moving to PUG, I don't think we should remove a section from
"Distributing Python Modules" if the information we want there is not
yet in PUG.

I agree, but again, my thinking is to refactor a lot of the content in #1 and #2, into #3, not necessarily move it to the PUG.

For example, details on the distutils install schemes and config files would be in #3, not directly in the PUG.

By the way, I noticed that PUG's "Installation & Packaging Tutorial"
[1] is one section. Shouldn't those be separate tutorials? IIRC that
information was in separate sections before (one for installing and
one for packaging).

that's gone back and forth a bit. at first it was 2 separate tutorials, then 2 tutorials and quickstart, then just a quickstart, and I just recently re-labeled the quickstart as a "tutorial" after a dicussion on IRC, where it seemed odd to have a "quickstart" without a more detailed tutorial later. the tutorial is still developing. maybe it could be split into 2 pages later. I'm more concerned with actually getting content now.
