I'm confused, wouldn't that basically be a slap in the face for the
people having worked on PEP345 and distutils2, especially during the
Summer of Code?

How so? That work is still useful.

Also, and I understand enthusiasm tends to build up during
conferences, but wouldn't supporting setuptools' egg-info directory
again be a step backwards after all those months of discussion about
the direction of Python packaging?

People have been requesting this specific feature for years; until
now, I never understood what the need is. It's really a tiny feature
and very easy to provide. I fail to see why this can be a bad thing.

Regards,
Martin
