It's worth remembering Éric's point - distutils is frozen and changes are in theory not allowed. This part of the proposal is not possible without an exception to that ruling. Personally, I don't see how making this change could be a problem, but I'm definitely not an expert. If distutils doesn't change, bdist_wininst installers built using distutils rather than packaging will do the wrong thing with regard to this change. End users won't be able to tell how an installer has been built.
