[00:35:56] <dstufft> lifeless: yea, I was being lazy since I wasn't ready to cut a new release just yet (though maybe I should be!) since I I have to double check those PRs
[00:36:04] <dstufft> pull them down and double check that is
[00:36:21] <lifeless> dstufft: so tchaypo is going to figure the issue with constraints
[00:36:34] <lifeless> dstufft: but to test the new setup with trunk pip we need the marker fix in too
[14:58:00] <jaraco> dstufft: I meant that conversation in #distutils for here, not #distutils.
[14:59:20] <jaraco> But my summary question is - has this technique been considered, tried? Should I follow up in that ticket, create a new one, or has this issue already been addresses as well as it can be?
[15:17:01] <dstufft> jaraco: I'm not aware of anyone trying that technique, it would be a good thing though, at least as long as pip still defers setup_requires to setuptools
[15:18:39] <jaraco> I’ll write it up as a separate ticket, but reference the existing ticket.
