Let's not add anything to the stdlib till it has real world usage. Doing otherwise is putting the cart before the horse.

I'd posit that anything successful will no longer need to be added to the standard library, to boot. Packaging hasn't done well there.

I'd rather see a successful packaging story develop than bundle it into the standard library. The later just isn't that interesting any more.
