This is completely understandable, and a good reason not to work on
it. The problem is that you simultaneously have prevented others to
work on it, which now finally has created this fork. We don't want to
fork it. We don't want to rename it. We don't want to have a
bikeshedding discussion. We just *need* to fix setuptools. The best
name for this for is obviously "setuptools", because that's what it
is. It's setuptools. We only for it because you won't let us fix the
main fork.
