I'll add one in that area.
Note that I am also planning to:
- remove in the current trunk things like cmp() so the code looks
similar in trunk and py3k
-> so if you change something in py3k branch in distutils, if you
have time please backport it to the trunk
right away when appliable
- release Distutils at PyPI on its own, (stable releases, and dev
releases) following Marc-André suggestion.
this will use externals, (see http://svn.python.org/projects/distutils/trunk/)
So it should be simpler to work things out between two Python releases

Tarek
