That hits the nail on the head. If something is added to the standard
library, it becomes part of Python and must be controlled by whoever
controls Python. Otherwise there will be chaos. If a developer puts his
code into the standard library, it may or may not increase their status,
ego, or income. Each developer must decide for himself.
I suggest that the BDFL make a Pronouncement on this subject.
