Not necessarily.  I will only support adding this feature if it can be done without making datetime know about Decimal.  If we can agree on a lossless protocol to communicate floating pointing numbers of different base (or even more generally rational numbers), datetime module can support this protocol and allow all kinds of numbers in its constructors without much extra code.
