I agree with Nick. It's regrettable, but this is probably the wisest course of action. Remove packaging from 3.3, create a PEP clearly defining what packaging should be, and aim to implement for 3.4. It seems to me that there's a lot of interest in the packaging module, but it's fragmented and people have very different goals and expectations. Developing a PEP will likely be a big task in itself, but I'd hope that a well-crafted PEP will provide something the various people with an interest could get behind and work together on, which might help ease the developer time issue. (Assuming, of course, that championing the PEP doesn't burn Éric out completely...)
