Currently the egg installation script is called "easy_install". I would propose to rename it to something like "pyegg" or something similar. Mainly because "easy_install" is a very generic name and doesn't include anything related with python in the name which causes confusion.
Additionally if easy_install gets an uninstallation feature the name is wrong too.
-0 from me.
While your reasons are good ones, Armin, it is too late to rename easy_install.
+1 for a rename. Of course, start throwing a deprecation warning before removing the command entirely. :(
