Because "pkg_resources" belongs to 0.6 and we want 0.7 to be
installable alongside 0.6 if needed.
Now as I said earlier, this package might shrink once PEP 376 is
finished, and have bits included in pkgutil.

What do you call 'core' ? distutils.core ?
If yes, why does it belong to core ? entrypoint is a standalon plugin system .

We are keeping a "distribute." namespace for all bits.
Now maybe one day it'll make it into Distutils, yes. But not now.
Also, have a look at PEP 381 (mirroring infratructure for PyPI)
In any case, the splitting is occuring *now* and is not written in the stone,
so we can talk about this in Distutils-SIG, and improve it with your feedback.
