I wouldn't declare it dead based on that info (i.e. that 
distutils2/packaging will replace distribute.)

Distribute is still the guiding force in getting everyone to 
distutils/packaging IIUC.

So, the documentation has not been updated recently, but everything in 
the guide is still relevant AFAIK.

Is this a fair/accurate assessment?
