100% agree + one of the great advantages of Python is that the batteries actually are included and we are not forcing users to download one of twenty competing unstable versions somewhere on GitHub (I won't name any competing languages here). Also, I don't see a problem with having one more mature, slower version of library in the standard library, while the more alive version is still being developed from time to time rebasing the stdlib version (I thought, unittest was one such example.) Also, considering requests, I am still dreaming about somebody writing some requests-like API over the standard library.
