Probably a good idea.

The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that you are proposing
both to remove and add things to distutils. Although backports will be
available, how will this work? If I use a new version of distutils,
and somebody uses 2.5 to install my package, how will he know how to
fix the errors that appear? And how will my 2.6 package work under 2.7
if you remove backwards compatibility?
