Nope. 0.6 is a fork of setuptools, providing bugfixes (and also 3.1
support). It's completely backwards compatible with setuptools.

0.7 is a development branch, which aims to refactor setuptools into
something or (rather several somethings) that is simpler and easier to
maintain. It will not be backwards compatible.
