That's what I wanted to do first but it turned out to be a bad idea.

This duplication is unfortunate but the freeze is also to prevent third party 
code that patches distutils to break.

For instance, there's a lot of code out there that just patches 
distutils.sysconfig paths... So changing it would break them.

resolution:  -> wont fix
