What is at the heart of your concern about bloat? Diskspace? Size of
download package.
I like having commonly used stuff that's been through the wringer in the
standard package. I would tend to try to be more inclusive, focusing on
broad applicability and some vague notion of quality--rather than
minimalistic and exclusive, as you seem to be.
Here's an example: ConfigParser.
My guess is that you'd vote for tossing that out of the standard package.
I'd vote to keep it in.
Cheers,
