+1 to David's comment, and -0 on the proposal as a whole. The suggested wordings are simply offensive to those modules & their maintainers specifically, and to Python generally. Personally, I think an intelligent user should realize that a language's standard library won't provide all the latest and shiniest gadgets. Rather, it will focus on providing stable tools that have withstood the test of time and can serve as a basis for building more advanced tools. That intelligent user should also be aware of PyPI (and the main Python page makes it prominent enough), so I see no reason explicitly pointing to it in the documentation of several modules.
