hi,

since its kind of troublesome to deal with stdlib vs modified-stdlib,

i'd like to propose an new model for tracking our changes to the stdlib

the unmodified stdlib would be in a branch, say vendor/stdlib,
while our modifications will get inlined in the default branch

that way we get easier merging and easier diffing + we might be able to 
supply patches to cpython more easily

the same approach can also be applied to pylib/pytest


so i propose 2 vendor branches for tracking unmodified versions of libs 
we use

* vendor/stdlib
* vendor/pytest

and of course the inlining of modified-stdlib

unless there are complaints i would implement the changes in a few days 
in a branch
