Huh? Where are these reasons documented?

Because besides zc.buildout bootstraping, the distribute_setup.py is not be
considered as part of the code API.

What does that have to do with egg format releases of the 0.6 branch?

This is not a compatibility issue. The code stays unchanged. This is just
a change in the way we release this project: no more binary releases
in bdist_egg format
that is.  Just a plain source release.

Setuptools is available as an egg, so if you want 100% backwards compatability, then distribute needs to be too...

How about working on the buildout branch I'm working on rather than doing
stuff separately all the time?

Because it's not the zc.buildout project. It's a project that creates
a zc.buildout
environment using distribute, like what virtualenv-distribute does with
virtualenv.

*sigh*

How many forks of how many projects do you want?
