or something similar. It's an extra few chars, and it would give a convenient way to branch off pieces of the main code into their own subprojects in the future if needed.

More interestingly, keeping it in a single repository makes it easier to merge projects, or parts of projects, together, without losing the history. This would be useful when developing packages that may be considered for the standard library, but which also need to continue separate releases to support older versions of Python. We've found it very handy to keep multiple projects in a single repository for zope.org.
