> Ok. How about shipping bootstrap script only for `easy_install` tool for now?

Since there are many who are of the opinion that easy_install isn't
very good, and pip should be used instead, that would be a bad idea.


Just drop it. 2.7 will not have a package management tool or bootstrap
script to one, because there is currently not one that is good enough
to be the standard. People are working on making the situation good
enough, this debate is wasting their time.

The end.
