Speaking for Jython, it would be very helpful if the stdlib was considered a separate entity in a more official way than it is now. Jython already uses the stdlib this way (sort of), we have an svn:externals entry that just pulls the stdlib down. Today, we maintain a largish number of the modules with local patches that replace some modules as part of our build process. It would be nicer if we could do less patching at build time. BTW - I don't mean that I expect others to do this work for us, a couple of us have commit rights to help this along.
