I'll use the same strategy than sysconfig : - if the API is just moved to another place and works exactly the same way (e.g. like what's planned for make_archive), it will be dropped, and the documentation will refer to the new place. - if the API is removed for good, it'll follow a deprecation process IOW the short term impact for Setuptools (and therefore Distribute) will be to change a few imports for relocated APIs to be 2.7 compatible.
