[New-bugs-announce] [issue45661] [meta] Freeze commonly used stdlib modules.

[Eric Snow]

New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurrently at gmail.com>:

We're already freezing modules needed for bootstrapping the runtime, as well as the modules imported during startup. [1][2]  We're also planning on freezing argparse. [3]  There may be other modules (or files) worth freezing (assuming we don't just freeze the entire stdlib, which would have some potential downsides).

This issue is meant to cover the broader idea.  The work to actually freeze modules should be handled in separate issues.
