> Setuptools is dead, but the fork should be named something else just to show that development doesn't have anything to do with the way setuptools and is in fact a new and live project. People that were burned by setuptools should give distribute a new chance.

OK, that may be a valid standpoint.

> What should happen is that distribute (or redbarrel or disttools) should provide a distribute-setuptools package that is just a module that import distribute and is transparent to other packages that want to continue to "import setuptools".

"import distribute as setuptools" isn't a very big change. I think
people can manage that one. ;)
