[Distutils] Confused about distutils2/packaging

Hi,

I'm eagerly looking forward to the improvements that distutils2/packaging
will (hopefully) bring, and I very much appreciate the efforts of those
involved.

However, I'm a bit confused about the status. On
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Distutils2 it says packaging is included in
Python 3.3, and on http://docs.python.org/dev/packaging/ there is guidance
for how to write a .cfg file. On the other hand, on
http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0398/ (the 3.3 release schedule) it says
that the inclusion of packaging is deferred.

Which is it? Maybe it's a good idea to make the different docs consistent.

Thanks,
  Almar
