Well "this major"... It's a bug fix that breaks a setuptools
monkey-patch.
Subclassing distutils commands != monkeypatching. If, say, numpy's
distutils extensions subclass build_ext and override that method, they
could have had the same problem. Same for anybody else's distutils
extensions.
Setuptools subclasses distutils commands and then replaces the original
classes with its own.
Example from setuptools/__init__.py:
import distutils.core
distutils.core.Command = Command
Isn't this exactly what monkey patching means?
