Criteria for which Batteries are Included ?

"Batteries Included" is a well-published motto of Python.  And it's 
true, more modules than I would ever need are included in the base 
distribution.  However, I do miss relational database access. Especially 
the intefaces with MySQL and PostgeSQL. And it would be nice to have 
modules which interface with mature, and popular (common) protocols as 
SOAP and Jabber.  Of course, if everyone's favourite module would be 
included, then I suppose the Python distribution wold be unmaintainable. 
  So what are the criteria for the inclusion of a module in Python? User 
support? Availability on a speciifc number of platforms?

Regards,

Iwan
