The key point here is that opting in to this new behaviour would just mean setting a new configuration flag in pydistutils.cfg on the system doing the build/install, or adding a new option to the list of options passed to the install command. That's a significantly lower barrier to entry than finding all of the occurrences of "./setup.py install" in existing packaging and deployment scripts and converting them over to use "pip install" instead, especially since all the *other* command line flags would continue to be the setuptools flags rather than the pip ones.
