The *whole* point of Distribute 0.6.x is to be backward compatible, meaning that if virtualenv switch to it, you will not even notice it. I guess the point is that is should still work even if you don't want to switch to distribute?
Exact, i want that distribute usage must be explicit, moreover nowadays.
Huh? Why? I just don't buy this. We've effectively had a bdfl pronouncement that setuptools is dead. distribute 0.6 *is* now the "live supported setuptools" so any project that relies on the package called "setuptools" should now be using the "distribute" distribution...
