Yes that feels very dangerous to me. From the github thread it sounds like setuptools *does* support it. I would be inclined to deprecate support for that in setuptools if that's the case (though obviously since setup.py is a regular python file you can write your own code to do whatever you want in it, so it's more in the spirit of a deterrent than a protection).
