That;'s generally my view. I'm looking at changing virtualenv to install the default packages (setuptools/distribute and pip) from wheels. In doing that, pip's console script entry points will only work if distribute is used, so in effect this means making virtualenv always use distribute. This certainly won't be for a while yet, but I want to be sure it's not going to enrage a horde of dedicated setuptools users...
