As I said earlier, we've had our share of bugs because we needed to
make Distribute
work in some particular environments, but that was bootstraping issues
we've fixed. And
if we have more we will fix them and release another version of Distribute.
I wasn't criticizing Distribute - I was using Distribute to show just
*how low* pkg_resources' bug count is.
(You know, this is now the third time in the last few days where
you've interpreted my *positive* comments about your work (e.g. PEP
386) to someone else here as being some sort of criticism or argument
with you.)
