Personally, I would rather see not a "fork", but development of an entirely new disutils replacement, and then not worry at all about backward compatibility at the setup.py level. Apart from the pkg_resources module, I would treat setuptools and distutils as legacy infrastructure, and explore better ways to build and manage distributions (including eggs).
We can not restart with something completely different or new. Such an approach would be totally unacceptable due to the huge amount of existing modules having switched to setuptools. Setuptools or an improved codefork must be the tools for managing distibutions in Python.
