That's a poor argument for increasing the workload on all package 
maintainers.

Backwards compatibility is the valid argument that you've made. But, for 
me, that can be solved by requiring installation of a new version of 
distutils (which I'm -0 on) or waiting for a new python release (which 
I'm +1 on).

cheers,

Chris
