setuptools can be configured to tag "dev" releases with the date instead of the SVN revision. I haven't had any trouble in practice with it so far (with in-house projects) since the comparison setuptools does to determine if a version is newer than another works as expected. As for "stable" releases, the same X.Y.Z notation scheme being used now can still be used. > About a setup folder: Gosh, I really hate when packages do that. > Haven't we all realized that our developers need to get with the > program and have easy_install working first?

If setup.py is properly setup (sic) it allows setuptools to be installed automatically if it's not installed. I guess that now that setuptools is more widely used and most probably anyone installing TW for the first time has already a setuptools-enabled system (since TG/Pylons depends on it) it doesn't matter so much anymore.
