I think that based on this discussion the bottom line answer to this
question is "No".

I agree that it seems like that's where things are headed in the discussion. But the discussion doesn't always coincide with the reality, right? I guess I'm trolling more for a statement from the setuptools maintainer here.

Particularly since I'm looking for an answer to my question about should Enthought continue to invest time into a setuptools patch that lets developers include docs, config files, etc. in eggs for installation in a FHS-approved location at install time?
