Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

IIUC this is about two changes:
- Moving python.exe to the scripts subdirectory instead of the top-level install dir
- Renaming that subdir from Scripts to bin

The first change will reduce the number of dirs to add to PATH from two to one, which sounds nice; the second is more controversial, as shown by the current python-dev discussion.

I am also not sure of the risks if we make an exception to the distutils freeze.
