The devs probably choose to use distutils.Command as base class for maximum compatibility, but I suspect 99.99% of users use the setuptools integration (entry points https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/3a87ecebaba765475392ae2cdfa2a51cb78360e0/setup.py#L53-L54 ) rather that distutils integration (explicit cmd_class setting in setup.py or --command-packages on the command line)

I’m inclined to reject the special case in distutils and encourage you to send the patch to setuptools (a similar PR, not option 1 or 2).
