I disagree that a stdlib module is a dead module. It is perfectly possible to augment the API with new functionality without breaking compatibility. You can also deprecate old APIs if you want.
Right, it wasn't intended as that harsh... but it does come with a rather impressive set of constraints in terms of what you can do with the API.
Cheers,
Dirkjan
