Deciding to remove packaging from 3.3 is another instance of the same
mistake, IMO.
What's the rationale for leaving it in, when it's known to be
incomplete/unfinished?
As an incentive for users to start using the features that are
finished enough, and exercise the migration path from distutils.
The module can be marked "provisional" so as to allow further API
variations.
It's true that some modules are quite mature and already useful:
- packaging.version (PEP 386)
- packaging.pypi
- packaging.metadata (PEP 345)
- packaging.database (PEP 386)
the part that is not ready is the installer and some setuptools bridging
