I agree with the last sentence. I was just trying to be prudent as to how we handle maintenance of delicate parts of the stdlib. As for "allowing distutils to fall back", the point is that Tarek and friends are working on its replacement. I hope it can be integrated sooner rather than later. Tarek used to develop features directly in the stdlib, but Guido decided at PyCon that it was too dangerous and that a separate project had to be started instead - leading to the recent reverting of distutils to its 3.1 state.
