Luciano, it's very good that aiohttp is not a part of CPython. It allows me to develop and release the library much faster than CPython is released. aiohttp public API is changing relative fast. We keep backward compatibility for at least one year (with deprecation process, sure) but it's still too fast for CPython itself.
I doubt if standard library will have http server sometimes. Think about requests library which lives very happy as separate library available on PyPI (as well as aiohttp BTW).
