Fedora 9, due to be released April, 2008, marks the first release of
Fedora which no longer deletes or otherwise messes up the .egg-info
files. Ubuntu Hardy LTS 8.04 -- also due April 2008 -- will
handle .egg-info files nicely. I think Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 --
released October 2007 -- or even Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 -- released April
2007 -- may also have handled .egg-info files correctly, I'm not
entirely sure.
