Upfront people need to realize that we might have three argument parsing libraries for a while, but it won't be forever. If we get argparse accepted we would slowly deprecate at least optparse, if not getopt (lat time I tried to ditch getopt for Python 3 some argued that getopt supported stuff optparse didn't), out of the standard library and toss them into PyPI for those who refuse to switch. The standard library might not evolve a lot, but it isn't dead or in stone.
But before this can happen, people need to have a general consensus that I should bug Steven about contributing as it will require a PEP from him. Steven already has commit privileges to maintenance from him will not be a problem.
So if you want this to actually happen and for me to start talking to Steven just reply to this email w/ a vote.
