Let's not add anything to the stdlib till it has real world usage. Doing otherwise is putting the cart before the horse.

I'd posit that anything successful will no longer need to be added to the standard library, to boot. Packaging hasn't done well there.

If only "successful", agreed. However, packaging is a core part of the Python experience, and as such should be provided in the stdlib. Regards Antoine.
