What's your proposed process to arrive at the list of recommended
packages?
I'm thinking it makes the most sense to treat inclusion in the
recommended packages list as a possible outcome of proposals for
standard library inclusion, rather than being something we'd provide a
way to propose specifically.
We'd only use it in cases where a proposal would otherwise meet the
criteria for stdlib inclusion, but the logistics of actually doing so
don't work for some reason.
Running the initial 5 proposals through that filter:
* six: a cross-version compatibility layer clearly needs to be outside
the standard library
* setuptools: we want to update this in line with the PyPA interop
specs, not the Python language version
* cffi: updates may be needed for PyPA interop specs, Python
implementation updates or C language definition updates
* requests: updates are more likely to be driven by changes in network
protocols and client platform APIs than Python language changes
* regex: we don't want two regex engines in the stdlib, transparently
replacing _sre would be difficult, and _sre is still good enough for
most purposes
regex gets updated when the Unicode Consortium releases an update.
