Win9X (command.com) users can't redirect stderr, and the DOS box there has a
50-line maximum output history.  So stuff going to stderr is often lost
forever.  stdout can be redirected.  I don't know whether disutils had that
in mind, but it is "a reason" to leave it alone.

If there's a connection between this and disutils, it's not apparent from
what you wrote.
