What would be needed to land support for 3.4? Is it "just" a matter of pushing distlib to the stdlib and updating distutils (add a way to configure 2.0 metadata, add bdist_wheel and update sdist), or are there other other issues? Well, other than finalizing the PEP and its implementation in distlib?
