From my observation (mostly according to jython), such changes easily get out of sync. The net result is that you have one, outdated, version in stdlib and other implementation, like IronPython is maintaining it's own anyway. IMO it's easy enough to maintain clearly implementation-specific parts out of cpython's stdlib.

Hopefully, it will be easier to visualize how this might work once the plan for hg migration is finalized.

What I would rather like to see is that stdlib does not contain impl specific parts, even for cpython and cpython maintains it's own things outside of stdlib. This would be in line with what we discussed at pycon I think, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I was not present, but that's my impression, too.
