Then why not include pip, easy_install, and this bash script I use to install packages into core? The more the merrier, right? Answer: None of these are standards, and as nick points out, there's issues with sysadmins, security, and other things. Not to mention they're fundamentally not part of the language. At the language summit, this was hashed out quite a bit. I think most everyone agreed that tools like easy_install, pip, virtualenv, zc.buildout, etc simply do not belong in core python.
Once PEP 376 is implemented, my suggestion is to at least link to these tools (if not write a paragraph) as way of pointing users to alternative package managers that uses the 'uninstall' API. A mention of PyPI would also be helpful.
