New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

I just noticed that access to the normal distutils docs has become difficult. 
They are hidden as "legacy" while a link to the packaging user guide 
(https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/) is prominently displayed.

The problem is that the packaging user guide is an unreadable mess of 
recommandations, which is both tedious and unhelpful when you want a detailed 
documentation of e.g. the setup() function.

I would ask to revert to the "old" distutils docs until the packaging guide 
becomes up to the task.
