+1 to that.  Would built-in modules like imp belong to Library or
Interpreter Core?  (I’d say Core.)

When merging 3.2 into 3.3, I started sorting the Misc/NEWS file there
too but stopped after ~30 changes.  On one hand, I know that developer
time would be better spent on fixing bugs rather than reading a commit
sorting NEWS entries, but on the other hand I thought it best for
readers of this file to have something that makes sense.  Build fixes
were not in a dedicated section, Core and Library are happily mixed, so
I thought that my sorting could help even the What’s New author.  I
wanted to ask python-dev first, though.
