Wow. I guess your code was broken and now you seem really upset. Go punch a bag or something, and then propose something a little more constructive, like adding a warning to the docs. I can assure you that there are many people using apps written using Tkinter (e.g. IDLE) and there's a mailing list as well (tkinter-discuss@python.org).

As https://bugs.python.org/issue33257 and https://bugs.python.org/issue33316 showed, Tkinter is broken, for both Py2 and Py3, with both threaded and non-threaded Tcl, since 2002 at least, and no-one gives a damn.

This seems to be a testament that very few people are actually interested in or are using it.

If that's so, there's no use keeping it in the standard library -- if anything, because there's not enough incentive and/or resources to support it. And to avoid screwing people (=me) up when they have the foolishness to think they can rely on it in their projects -- nowhere in the docs it is said that the module is only partly functional.
