[Python-3000] PEP 3108: Standard Library Reorganization

Just a quick comment on the discussion in general: It seems that there 
are a number of modules which fall in to the set of "widely used, but 
obscure and/or unmaintained". Perhaps what is needed is to annotate the 
list of modules to be dropped with a set of prerequisite conditions - 
i.e. what has to happen before a particular module can be removed.

It also seems to me that a few of these items don't need to be dropped 
so much as refactored - so that Py3K will have the same functionality, 
but with a cleaner and more orthogonal interface.
