Paul Ganssle <p.gans...@gmail.com> added the comment:

For the future, we generally tend to keep distutils pretty "frozen", only 
making minor changes or the changes needed to build Python itself. Instead we 
generally make changes in setuptools, which for the moment monkey-patches 
distutils (and into which distutils will eventually be merged). One of the big 
reasons is that setuptools is used across all versions of Python, so the 
changes are automatically backported, whereas changes to distutils will only be 
seen by people using the most recent Python versions.

In this case, it's not really a substantive change, so I think we can leave it 
in distutils, I just wanted to bring this up as an FYI.
