I won't argue that getopt should be left in for Python 3, however it is still widely used. I generally use it for simple tasks. (My brain must have a getopt usage template in there somewhere. I still find it much easier to whip out getopt usage. I always have to consult the optparse docs.) It should probably at least go on PyPI.
Likewise, I suspect bsddb185 will still have some occasional uses, at least on BSD Unix variants. On my Mac /etc/pwd.db and /etc/mail/*.db are 1.85 hash files. Maybe also a candidate for PyPI. Should the PEP acknowledge this route to module sainthood for certain modules?
