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 Some other packages that might meet these criteria, or at least be useful for honing them: - lxml - numpy - cryptography - idna -n
