I strongly disagree. Being able to download something and
immediately get something to work and see results is hugely
rewarding; on the other hand, having to research, find, compare &
contrast available third-party modules (especially for
new-comers) can be extremely discouraging.
It might make sense to have CPython's release cadence decoupled from the
Standard Library's release cadence. That is, maybe they should be
separate downloads.
On the other hand, it's nice to get it all in one go. Perhaps the
installer could gain controls to download optional parts of the standard
library or update those parts that have been installed.
