We need to have inputs on that: that's good to have fields, but it's more important to know how they are supposed to be considered. Any news about that ? Do someone have email adresses of Matthias Klose and Toshio Kuratomi ? Also, it's important to notice there is a difference between the new field (release-conflict IIRC), and I assume it's important to have a discussion about it know, and the others fields that are just being renamed. (*-release fields). Maybe could we update the PEP a first time about the renaming changes, in order to use them in the first version of Distutils2, and them continue the discussion about the conflict field.
