But are these 1.5.2 users going to see any new distutils code?
I.e. do people who still run 1.5.2 occasionally upgrade their
distutils installation?  I'd be surprised, but could always be wrong.

It would be a good idea to leave the last 1.5.2 compatible released
distutils tarball somewhere prominent in any case.
