I hope that packaging progress will someday make it matter much less whether something is in the standard library.

For which we need a mechanism that all package providers can implement, rather than a repository to which all package providers must contribute.

I think we need both. We need the mechanism and repositories, although non necessarily one repository. Phillip Eby and others seem to be making wonderful progress on the mechanism. I haven't had a chance to play with this yet, but I expect to over the next few months. People who have seem quite enthusiastic.
