I hope there was not because that was not my intention at all. It's more an observation that replacing things with other things is a dangerous thing because you can easily dismiss parts of the design as “useless” by accident.
I had the feeling that happened when ditching setuptools and that's a mistake that problem should not be repeated.
I made that mistake in the past already at one point where I tried to replace the Python logging library and I missde perfectly valid usecases in the process.
