I suspect you might need to publicize this a bit better. The first I heard of Distribute or non-responsiveness of PJE regarding setuptools was this thread. (I don't read comp.lang.python anymore. I do read python-dev and comp.lang.python.announce. Maybe I just missed it.)

As I said, I was completely unaware of the problems you're addressing with Distribute. My guess is that many extension writers and almost certainly those people who install extensions will be similarly unaware of the issues.
