Ultimately it's Larry's call, but I don't see why we couldn't. If we were talking about something as low-level as the urllib package then I would agree, but beyond its own tests is there anything in the stdlib that depends on asyncio?

I'm flexible here.  My concern is shipping high-quality software.  Removing an entire package outright, even at such a late date, is pretty low-risk.  But before I'd allow it, you'd have to get a BDFL pronouncement (or BDFL-delegate pronouncement).
