The fact it comes with Python itself is also a strong argument, but:

I don't have any such code, so my opinion isn't that valid here.

Just to be clear though, adodbapi has a documented way of changing what 
is returned, so people who want to continue relying on mxDateTime have a 
one-or-two line fix available, correct?
