It depends. It should work the same way as IDLE: it's ok that Tcl/Tk
itself is not included in Python, however, Tkinter is.

If that imaginary editor has lots of build dependencies that make
it really difficult to use it, I would be opposed to including it.
If it requires one library that is typically already available on
a Linux system, it would be fine with me.
