[Distutils] setuptools 8 changes are great, but ...

[Jim Fulton]

I think the changes in version management in setuptools 8 are a great
step forward,
but I think the transition is going to hurt a lot.

For buildout, I'm thinking of of releasing 2.3.1 that reverts the
changes in 2.3 and
adds a requirement for setuptools <8 to give more time to respond to
these  changes.
