Could you clarify if this is a current issue in the python-msgpack
package that causes build failures, or if this is in preparation to
move from setuptools to pep517 to build python-msgpack?

If you want us to merge your patches faster, please help us: explain in
the commit log the "WHY" you are doing the change. Your commit log
fails to explain it, and therefore I don't have the context to
understand the motivation of the change.

Thanks!
