No, you are misrepresenting what was said. What is required is that someone make 
an active commitment to maintain wxPython as part of the standard library 
*specifically*. That means that the package has to follow Python's release 
cycle. The wxPython developers do not wish to do that. They can develop wxPython 
much better outside of the standard library.
