Hi Chris,

As far as i know, we just give links for power users/developers to know how to
find the actual related repositories.
It s *CLEARLY* specified *IN THE HOMEPAGE METADATA* that the official thing
lives inside florian branch. Those are not 3 forks, but 3 branches or the same
code. And the florian branch is the reference as Linux kernel branch.

And no DVCS is not a mess, this is just a mean to have bugfixes available as
Fast as possible and it's a great way for the original authors to get and merge
those fixes.

AND no, virtualenv must continue to provide setuptools, backward compatibility,
you know?
