I have no particular view on these two changes. But I would definitely rather see them as change requests to the released distutils test support, instead of discussion items before anything is added. In other words, just because we have something in place, doesn't mean we can't change it later if needed. But we should get something in, sooner rather than later.
You fear endless discussions resulting in no released code? Now that distutils doesn't have a named maintainer, how are we supposed to proceed? Anyone writes a PEP, or is this overkill? Anyway, lets try to clear this *fast*. Thomas
