Consider the next paragraph: "We're cleaning up the worst excesses in
Python 3.0, but for many reasons it's much harder to remove modules than
to add new ones -- there's always *someone* who will miss it. I probably
should have set the bar for standard library modules higher than I did
(especially in the early days, when I accepted pretty much anything
anyone was willing to contribute). " Now check out what was removed ;-)
