Update of /cvsroot/python/python/nondist/peps
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv11750

Modified Files:
	pep-0291.txt 
Log Message:
After some discussion at the distutils sprint at PyCon 2005, it seems that
no one really wants to make a new standalone release of Distutils.   
Given that, there's no reason for Distutils code to preserve backward 
compatibility, so I am removing the requirement for 2.1 compatibility.

(Jython doesn't use Distutils.  Samuele Pedroni observes that if
Jython does use it someday, that version of Jython will likely support
2.2/2.3 features.  So Jython isn't a reason to keep 2.1
compatibility.)
