It's not hard at all. But somebody needs to show how easy it is to do first, and then once that happens, it can be 'forked'. Perphaps implemented differently (white-boxed) from the original. So that somebody else can put their name on the idea. Forking in distutils is perphaps the new way of having innovation and progress. Don't worry Chris, if your idea is good enough, it is going to get forked...
