At the beginning, asyncio was more fat: it contained a HTTP client and server. The HTTP code was moved out of asyncio (into the aiohttp project, which is great and popular by the way) to keep asyncio small and simple. There is no plan to put libraries based on asyncio into the stdlib. And I don't think that existing modules should start to support asyncio, it's more the opposite :-) For example, urllib.request, http.client and http.server are replaced by aiohttp. I don't think that it would make sense to add new asynchronous methods to these modules.
