My preference would be to say that we support setuptools 30.3 and newer, even if we can't test it:

  1. setuptools is extremely stable, compared to any of our other dependencies. I have a very hard time imagining any of the limited functionality we use breaking.
  2. It is apparently tricky to upgrade, at least it can't be done automatically with pip install on some platforms.

I don't think it's worth the hassle of switching to importlib backports, at least for now. Likewise, I would lean against switching to pyproject.toml until it is well established. There's just not much to be gained by switching to novel packaging technology...
