Gosh, they're a bit forceful.

It does, but it'd be really useful, now that egg files are going to be
expected for (at least some) Python projects to have some Solaris-specific
rules surrounding their inclusion.  That probably would amount to "include
them, if provided", but also an answer to whether Sun-written Python
projects should be done as eggs as well as a good example of what the
actual egg interfaces are -- what of this stuff should people list in their
interface tables if they're delivering eggs?  The files / pathnames
themselves are almost certainly not the right answer, since they're not
consumed directly, but whatever metadata is.  Running a (quick) full case
with an opinion to set precedent would have been the old way of doing this,
but perhaps a fast-track would be sufficient these days?
