As I see it, the bootstrap would be a requirements.txt (requirements.pip)
with the packages that more experienced developers prefer to use over
stdlib, pinned to package versions known to work well with the CPython
release.

I think this is a great idea, specially if it's an easy opt-in.

For example, sometimes I go into a programming niche for a few years, and
I'd very much appreciate a curated list of packages when I move to another
niche. A pay-forward kind of thing.

The downside to the idea is that the list of packages will need a curator
(which could be python.org).
