Exactly. The fact that we in numpy consider distutils backward compatibility not worth the cost, even though we are most likely the most tied up with distutils, is quite telling about the state of affairs IMHO.

That doesn't prove Distutils can't evolve. That just shows that numpy worked on its side. If the Numpy projects made some refactoring/improvement, why the project didn't try to push it back in Distutils itself ?
