I think there is a general consensus that functionality should not be tied to a Python release, but the results are ad hoc.
I disagree with this. Tying new functionality to a Python release vastly simplifies dependency management (instead of having to track the versions of N external libraries, sometimes with inter-dependencies).
(Most specifically without serious thought about this development process I am pessimistic about an orderly or positive inclusion of distutils2 in packaging workflows.)
Without any discussion of specifics, I find it hard to understand what you are concerned about.
