Personally, I don't expect to see published wheels for some time yet. So building from source (even if only once to make a locally published wheel) will remain an important issue, and if we need setuptools-compatibility to build wheels, that will mean projects getting told "your project's setup.py fails when I try to do pip wheel". But as I say, this is all based on "if such projects exist"...
