At the language summit it was proposed and seemed generally accepted (maybe
I took silence as consent... it's been almost a year now) that bold new
modules (and bold rewrites of existing modules since it fell out of the
distutils/2 discussion) should get implemented in a module on pypi before
being merged into the python stdlib.  If you wouldn't want to work on any of
those modules until they were actually integrated into Python, it sounds
like you disagree with that as a general practice?
