When removing libraries from stdlib, can we bundle removed libraries and install it like ensurepip does?

I think that would require people picking those modules up and maintaining them. But even then I don't know how easy it would be to communicate that those modules are no longer under our care and so please report bugs and feature requests to that module's own repository before they open an issue on bpo.

Ruby does similar thing, called "Gemification". See https://rubykaigi.org/2017/presentations/hsbt.html When people don't use venv, scripts importing nntplib or aifc runs correctly. When people use venv, they need to pip install nntplib (we may be able to use PyPI's namespace beta feature here). But I assume pip install is not a problem for people using venv.
