A few notes:

- sysconfig was extracted from distutils to the top level in 2.7 and
3.2, but distutils does not use it (due to the Great Revert two years
ago after it was decided at PyCon to freeze distutils and start
distutils2); there are unfortunately a few subtle differences between
the install schemes in sysconfig and distutils.  So even if virtualenv
uses sysconfig in 2.7/3.2+, I’m not sure that the venv’s pip will
install distutils-based projects in the right places.

- packaging uses only sysconfig.cfg

- I think a change to distutils install schemes in 3.3 would violate the
freeze.
