Not what I meant, since setuptools is also itself a PEP-517 build backend.

The current patch is a hack at best, much like my phab reviews marked WIP.
Functionality that USE_PYTHON=distutils provided that is available in PEP-517
(like autoplist) has to be provided. Additionally, the "toolchain" has to
bootstrap itself through the framework. There is no gradual as far as the
framework is concerned, but individual packages can go at their pace.

To further clarify, the best "testsuite" for the framework support is the
(self-)bootstrap "toolchain" listed in the wiki.
