Shortcuts don't, but file associations to those shortcuts do (at least to the best of my understanding,) adding paths does, etc. I agree that a library (extensions or no) doesn't need to do these things. But anything targeted at an end-user on Windows has a reasonable chance of wanting them.
Here I thought I was being pretty clear that I was only requesting that things not be done to explicitly make it hard (or impossible) for someone else to extend setuptools (or whatever replaces / refactors it) to do these things.
