In general I question whether things like this need to be part of the main sympy project rather than as another project on pypi that can be installed separately. If we are going to include domain-specific modules that are really just built on top of sympy then I think that it is important that they are in some way contributing to the rest of sympy.
For example the work that goes into creating this package could also involve making improvements to things like dsolve and lambdify for solving ODEs and analytically and numerically. The PR right now has its own implementation for those things which I don't think is right. If we need improvements to lambdify and dsolve so that they are more useful for control theory then we should make those improvements which will be of more general use than the control theory package itself.
