Jason R. Coombs added the comment:

I'm not sure I understand the justification. If the patch serves a logical 
purpose, and distutils isn't deprecated in the current development line, then I 
would suggest we apply the patch. If we don't fix the behavior today, then the 
library will be in the same boat 5 years hence. The argument that many still 
rely on 2.7 could apply to any patch applied to 3.x. Furthermore, having better 
debug capability in even one version could provide packagers with a target in 
which to troubleshoot.

I'd prefer the patch be accepted or rejected on merits.
