I think you miss the "included with Python 2.5 and later" part Anyway, I find it rather verbose compared to what we have proposed so far in setup.cfg I think the latest proposal, where the condition is located in the section name is good. So I'll just BDFL a bit here to move things forward. I am adding it in Distutils, with a notification mail in python-dev, and a blog entry describing the result.
