I think the whole argument amounts to hand waving anyway. You are
inventing an extended distribution which doesn't exist (except as
Anaconda) to justify that we shouldn't accept more modules in the

more work than accepting a single module in the stdlib, and that's why
you don't see anyone doing it, even though people have been floating the
idea for years.

Do I need to keep going?
Accepting a module in the stdlib means accepting the full development
and maintenance burden. Maintaining a list of "we recommend these so
strongly here's an installer that will give them to you" is a very
different kind of burden, and one that is significantly easier to bear.
