If backward compatibility is not a concern, why keeping distutils ? If you change the command and Distribution class design, what remains of the original code ? You are changing the API and the implementation (which are quite tangled with each other in distutils case), almost none of the original code would remain. It really feels to me like you are getting the pain of backward compatibility without the gains. What am I missing ?
