I think there are a lot of people who think that including a GUI in
the standard library was a mistake and the best solution would be to
get rid of Tkinter and replace it with nothing.  If I were Guido and
thought that, I'd probably keep mum about it as well. :)

[I'm not claiming Guidoe does think that, but there are some pretty
good arguments for not including a GUI at all.]

He doesn't "owe" you or me anything.
