Nothing proper release notes and the likes cannot fix. Heck, you could
provide a symlink from easy_install to the new pyegg --or whatever the name
might be-- for a few releases and if it is easy_install that's being
invoked, you act accordingly. Or even a placeholder script invoking the
necessary things.

Also, your claim of 'lots of people worldwide' is taken out of thin air. I
doubt you have evidence in favour or against.
