I think we need to ask maintainers of packages who use .pth -- at least, Mark Hammond (pywin32) -- to find out the impact and if everything can be done with other means. AFAICS it at least allows pywin32 to have many top-level modules without cluttering `site-packages'. pywin32 e.g. also copies some files to %windir%\system32 for some reason. And last time I checked, distutils had no functionality that involved symlinks, regardless of the OS.
