That was actually what I was afraid the reasoning was ;)
I guess I just go all wobbly in the knees at the thought of having to maintain
a "screen scraping" interface.
Funnily enough, Johannes Gisjbers, Andrew Dalke and I were talking about this
very issue last night. I proposed that we detect the user-agent of the
setuptools client, and in response send back really minimalist HTML (no
surrounding page template). Probably overkill, but this may have been after
we'd had beer :)
Could you provide a clear list of all the specific changes you wish for us to
make at the Sprint?

Oh - another thing that occurred to me -- does setuptools auto update itself?
