What's the reasoning for a hard push to stop using distutils when
it's shipped as part of python3-setuptools these days? I've seen no
indication from the SetupTools developers that they intend to stop
maintaining it any time soon. Sure it was removed from the CPython
stdlib, but that's simply because CPython itself no longer relies on
it for building. The idea was that it would be better maintained
outside of the stdlib as part of an independent packaging library.
