Comment (by dstufft):

 So right now entry points if you install from a sdist still uses
 pkg_resourcea (sorry I forgot about that case), but there's very little
 path fuckery because pip doesn't install eggs so in your typical install
 there aren't multiple versions of things to get the wrong version
 activated by accident. If you install from a Wheel it actually doesn't use
 pkg_resources at all (and I have plans to make this the case for sdists as
 well).
