"Including" is quite vague. pybench is "included" in the suite of
benchmarks at hg.python.org, but that doesn't mean it is given any
particular importance: you can select whichever benchmarks you want to
run when "perf.py" is executed (there are even several predefined
benchmark groups, none of which pybench is a member IIRC).
