What's the rationale for leaving it in, when it's known to be incomplete/unfinished? As an incentive for users to start using the features that are finished enough, and exercise the migration path from distutils. The module can be marked "provisional" so as to allow further API variations. It's true that some modules are quite mature and already useful:
- packaging.version (PEP 386) - packaging.pypi - packaging.metadata (PEP 345) - packaging.database (PEP 386) the part that is not ready is the installer and some setuptools bridging
