"Explicitly" would be a better word: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-September/018960.html Like I said, that particular aspect wasn't controversial, so while it was noted a few times (a few other examples of which you found), it was the overall discussions that were extensive. Both Daniel and I knew the zipimport compatibility for packages that were themselves zip compatible was a deliberate feature, so it was a surprise to me when Armin Ronacher said in his recent article that it wasn't supported (and hence the clarification).
