I'm just getting tired having to talk to
five projects just to make a single change to the build infrastructure
available to the Python community.

The very best hope of resolving that particular problem is distutils2. :-)

distutils2 is *already* available to the Python community, and whether or not there is a fixed release date it will have betas and then a 1.0 release in the foreseeable future. The team working on it has made an enormous amount of progress. We're much better off as a development community putting our support and energy into distutils2 rather than pining for evolution of distutils.

Sure. But today (before 3.2b1) we want to merge PEP3149 and PEP384;

they change the paths and filenames used by python.

Either we modify distutils to comply with the new names,

or defer these PEPs until distutils2 is ready.
