Taking out distutils from CPython seems unnecessary. It is rarely updated anyway and is required to build Python itself.
Why should people be forced to download an external package?
Distutils still just works, despite assertions from the packaging crowd, most of whom have no clue about C extensions or compilers. The people who wrote distutils did.
