Since you mention it, I agree with that proposal. But currently we have core developers contributing to distutils and @jaraco contributing to setuptools. @jaraco is quite competent, but I doubt that he would be able to maintain an independent fork of distutils by himself.

In short, I think your proposal is a good one, but how can we allocate manpower?
