While I do enjoy having all this stuff with the core distribution, I have
one nit to pick. (Relevant more to 1.7 then 1.6, but worth keeping in
mind). Can we please, pretty please with cream on top, start using
packages in the standard distribution? We can do it backwards compatibly,
with something like

internet/
    protocol/
        httplib.py

and httplib.py which does

from internet.protocol.httplib import *?

Put new stuff only in packages, and that way we could have a large
distribution, without a lot of top-level name clutter.

Anyone for? Against? Going to add me to their kill-files<wink>?
