I don't think that even library developers should need to write
their own scheduler very often.

I don't agree with that. They might need their own event loop,
but I haven't seen any reason so far to think they would need
their own coroutine scheduler.

Remember that Guido wants to keep the event loop stuff and the
scheduler stuff very clearly separated. The scheduler will all
be pure Python and should be usable with just about any
event loop.
