But changes to the stdlib (bug fixes or functional changes) are very likely to run at a slower pace to what third-party packages can afford. If you continue to develop regex outside of the stdlib, that could cause complications.

Developing outside of the standard library isn't an option. You could always backport things to the external version like the unittest2 project, but standard library modules need to be grown and fixed first in the standard library.
