Pypy bears the maintenance burden for the stuff in lib_pypy. Shared code means less maintenance. The rest of the stdlib is just copied over, so there is no maintenance burden. 2. Most of the APIs (and locations) for the things in lib_pypy *didn't* change very much, as opposed to things like urrlib2 where there was a large reorganization. This makes it a better candidate for consolidation. Thanks, Van
