running the pip test suite against distribute RCs before releasing would be a good idea. I'm happy to work with distribute people to make that happen.
granted, it's somewhat awkward, but I did this recently, before upgrading distribute-0.6.34 into virtualenv. it involves running pip's tests using a modified .travis.yml file that installs virtualenv from a git branch that has the distribute upgrade to be tested. I did this due to previous experience in watching a distribute upgrade start failing pip tests, and having to go back and get a distribute patch, and re-release virtualenv. most of the pip tests default to using virtualenv with Setuptools, but there are enough that use Distribute to smoke out issues.
