*Anything* might be considered for inclusion, although Guido might
dispose of it with a simple "please, no".  That is not going to happen
to your suggestion! :-)  But somebody's got to do the work of
identifying the subset, and coordinating with PyTest on whether they
would use the subset in their more extended framework, and (one hopes)
volunteer to maintain the module in the stdlib.

There's also the issue of how mature PyTest is.  If it's still gaining
features at some pace, it probably doesn't want to be part of the
stdlib yet.

A final comment: I wonder if you're being too conservative.  It's true
that generally we prefer small targeted modules in the stdlib, but
everybody needs tests (even if they don't know it ;-), and there might
be quite large audiences for the great majority of PyTest.  So maybe
we could get all of PyTest in (perhaps in a slimmed-down form without
some of the redundant/deprecated functionality).

As I mentioned, I'm not a PyTest user (yet! :-), so I wouldn't be a
good proponent for this.  But I find the proposal exciting.
