all this bother.  If it is as trivial as you suggest (and for all
I know you're absolutely right), then let's knock it off its pedestal
once and for all, and remove it from the standard distribution.

If you are being serious, you are being too serious (as in humorless).
The 'Zen of Python' is somewhere between 'trivial' and 'enshrined on a pedestal'. The two undocumented easter egg imports (visible in pythonx.y/Lib) are for both fun and edification.
