They don't have bearing on talking about redesigning how to design a new architecture that's easy to extend.
Those examples show why extending distutils commands with subclassing + post processing is not always enough. I don't understand why they would not be relevant for the design to improve distutils extensibility. They are quite typical of the usual problems I have when I need to extend distutils myself.
+1 to this argument :-) subclassing is a bad way to implement extensibility for essentially imperative tasks. I was just saying that the fact that distutils commands being used from paver having bugs does not invalidate paver's design of having functions be the task unit to build upon. -Toshio
