This strict freeze policy has been decided by Tarek.  The less work there is on 
distutils’ side, the less synchronization we’ll have to do in distutils2.  We 
do fix doc bugs, we can also fix markup or add links, but that’s it.  Improving 
docs is for distutils2.

Note that at first I wanted to improve distutils docs even though the code was 
frozen, but I now agree with Tarek that it would take up a lot of time that is 
better spent in distutils2.  (Regarding the options parameter, a 
Montreal-Python contributor added a test for it and a TODO note about lack of 
documentation.  See, things get better one step at a time :)

I hope this answers your question without sounding too dictatorial.  I 
understand your viewpoint but ultimately agree with the freeze.
