As long as Jason is amenable to the idea on the setuptools side, and pip's trick of injecting setuptools into a process to change the behaviour of distutils imports continues to work, then this seems like a reasonable idea to me. There will still be folks that want to patch distutils itself, but I don't see that as being substantially different from folks still patching the standard library Tcl/Tk bindings, even though there are a number of popular non-stdlib GUI toolkits.
