Why is setuptools forbidden? Is the the automatic download of packages or is there something else?

Setuptools is more than easy_install, it is also a package that has usefull future for packages, such as entrypoints. These are used by TurboGears (and I don't know Pylons), so not installing setuptools at all isn't really an option.
