I strongly disagree. Being able to download something and immediately get something to work and see results is hugely rewarding; on the other hand, having to research, find, compare & contrast available third-party modules (especially for new-comers) can be extremely discouraging.
It might make sense to have CPython's release cadence decoupled from the Standard Library's release cadence. That is, maybe they should be separate downloads.
