For what environments is the size of Python's stdlib actually an issue?
Certainly in embedded with MicroPython. But for anything else (even micro-containers), I don't see how the extra MBs can be meaningful.

And instead of putting in the standard lib all the code of X popular library of today, them put the TRAITS/bare support that allow anyone to interop and implement better versions of it. Is pretty clever way to do things, actually.
