Setuptools is not a python-dev project, ergo python-dev has no official position on it. Georg is speaking for himself, albeit with the credit of his involvement in python-dev. FTR, when some extreme distribute fans proposed that the PyPI setuptools entry had to be given to distribute, people (including Guido if my memory’s not failing) sternly replied that this was rude and unwelcome. As already stated elsewhere more than once, the fact that distribute provides the setuptools Python package is a technical requirement.
