No idea. But would it help? Distributors would still only provide one or the other, so when only an egg is available, I'd still have to convert it - which is certainly pretty simple, but so is python setup.py bdist_wininst. I don't think it's simply about how easy it is to create installers for yourself. If a developer provides an egg, and I convert it to a bdist_wininst, who helps me if there's an installation problem? (Assume "me" is someone just trying to use Python as a tool - say, one of the scientists David Cournapeau referred to earlier in the thread).
