Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: distutils is a special case in the standard library: complicated code with even private helpers used by code in the wild, so we are extra careful when changing things in there. But I should say it used to be special, and we used to be careful: setuptools copied the whole of distutils into their repo to make it easier to change things, and there’s a PEP to remove distutils from the standard library. Thanks for checking first!
