The stdlib contains outdated modules, it's not outdated itself. Windows 11 still contains some DLLs dating back as far as at least NT 4.0 and nobody would call it an outdated OS. The stdlib is constantly being improved and I for one am glad that older and rarely used features are being kept around instead of booting them out with the next minor release.

Generally stuff is being added and left to die. >rarely used features are being kept around instead of booting them out with the next minor release Or, maybe, being actively maintained? Python desperately lacked corporate interest and paid maintainership, and I'm glad that this starts to change. Entirely volunteer model sounds cool, until you see that people are only interested in adding "cool" stuff and syntactic sugar like walrus operator.
