extras_require is _not_ banned yet. There is no such decision here: http://docs.zope.org/zopeframework/steeringgroup/decisions.html Though I can see this: "We can consider removing extra dependencies for particular Zope Framework packages in order to make the dependency graph easier to reason about. We will do this on a case by case basis though." > 2. pkgutil is now banned which will prevent regular distutils from > working properly. 'setuptools' is a hard-dependency for all packages now, without removing that, there is no point in keeping that fall-back import of 'pkgutil'.
