Most packages won't need it, and should just continue setting DISTUTILS_USE_PEP517.
These variable names confuse me since some time. How are they related to distutils?

The eclass is called 'distutils-r1', so 'distutils' is the namespace for
all variables and functions.

Then let me rephrase the question, why is the eclass called
distutils-r1? How is it related to distutils?
