We've learned from experience that these kinds of module are better
coupled to operating system update cycles than they are to Python
language definition update cycles.

However, a case could potentially be made for a pip-style bundling
arrangement that provides the other benefits of stdlib inclusion
(python-dev's technical endorsement, PSF's legal blessing), without
incurring the costs (i.e. coupling to the language update cycle for
feature additions).

Cheers,
Nick.
