That'd be me.  I wrote smtpd.py a long while ago, got approval from
Guido to add it to the standard library, then forgot about it until
around the 2.1a1 time frame.  smtpd.py itself is probably useful to
only a handful of people (and maybe that hand belongs to a shop
teacher), so I wouldn't be offended if it and async* were moved to
Tools -- eventually.  It is, of course, much too late to do this for
Py2.1.
