I think we mean the same. :-) I was not sure whether you were implying
that there is a difference between a bdist_egg and an sdist that is
easy installed.  Apparently you agree that there is no difference,
with or without a MANIFEST.in.

Well, there is the point of C extensions perhaps, where at least for
Windows users a compiled, windows-specific binary egg is good to
have.  For all other use cases an sdist is fine.  At least that seems
to be the current train of throught in the Grokiverse.
