Sure, it's a temptation, but that doesn't make it a good idea. Note that the format I'm suggesting for Entry-Points is *inspired* by the way you specify entry points when calling setuptools, but it's true structured data rather than embedding the "foo = entry-point-def" mini language that setuptools uses.
