Yep, so it's still a draft, even though it may be promising.

I have no problem with distlib on the principle. However, if I were the
packaging BDFL, my decision would be "integrate it all in distutils" :-)
By the way, if you want to help with hg.python.org and manage the distlib repo
there, you can send an email on
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure and ask for ssh access
to the virtual machine.
