I recently made a very similar suggestion in http://bugs.python.org/
issue5480 -- ".egg-info" => ".pkg-info".
It seems to me that either the new distutils should use a different
name for those files, such as ".pkg-info", or else the new distutils
needs to come with a announcement that tells people to pay attention
and notice that even though it has "egg" in its name it is now a core
Python feature which is supported by the core Python team.
