I have been using standard distutils for large C extensions without
any issues.
Since distutils does not change, why remove it? It is a lot of work
for people with little gain.
I'd really like to build C extensions without downloading an external
package.
Features like C++ support have not been worked on for more than a
decade. Are the setuptools maintainers planning to address these
issues now?

elif find_executable('locale'):
locale_list = subprocess.Popen(["locale", "-a"],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
One of the many things that just work out of the box. -10 on removing
distutils from the stdlib. Freezing it is fine.
