ipaddress really made it in because I personally ran into the limitations of not having IP address support in the stdlib. I ended up doing quite a bit of prompting to ensure the process of cleaning up the API to modern stdlib standards didn't stall (even now, generating a module reference from the docstrings is still a pending task)
With regex, the pain isn't there, since re already covers such a large subset of what regex provides. My perspective is that it's now too late to make a change that big for 3.3, but the in principle approval holds for anyone that wants to work with MRAB and get the idea written up as a PEP for 3.4. Cheers, Nick. -- Sent from my phone, thus the relative brevity :)
