+1 from me.
I was just browsing pypi, and there seem to be many tools out there
which are designed to work with the current egg metadata. The fewer
unnecessary name-changes we impose, the more likely the authors of
all those tools will update their tools to interoperate with the new
Distutils.
Speaking of which, the proposed 'build_requires' seems to be somewhat
similar to setuptools's 'setup_requires'. The difference seems to be
that 'build_requires' is intended for non-Python tools and
'setup_requires' currently works only for Python packages
("distributions").
