So if we really wanted to go this route of breaking out the stdlib, I think we have two options. One is to have the cpython repo represent the CPython interpreter and then have a separate stdlib repo. The other option is to still have cpython represent the interpreter but then each stdlib module have their own repository.

Option 3 is something in between: groups of stdlib modules in their own repository. An obvious example: a gui group with _tkinter, tkinter, idlelib, turtle, turtledemo, and their doc files. Having 100s of repositories would not work well with with TortoiseHg. -- Terry Jan Reedy
