Confusing note in plugin documentation #2115

Description

@David-Baddeley

Issue Description

I found the note

"Since this specification is part of the standard library, most packaging tools other than setuptools provide support for defining entry points."

at the end of https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/creating-and-discovering-plugins/ confusing, as it implies that setuptools does not support entry points. My immediate reaction to reading this was that I can't use entry points with setuptools until I remembered that setuptools more or less invented the concept.
