It most definitely is unusual to include *anything* (my emphasis)
similar, or you would find Python already at 150MB and growing rapidly
as I suggested before.

I ask again what you think should be the criteria for including
something in the standard distribution.  Clearly, whatever you
think it should be, it's at odds with what the current maintainers
consider appropriate.  Perhaps if you can come up with some
guidelines which would include Pygame but not 130MB of other
useful and interesting packages, we'll have a better way of
deciding what to put in in future releases.
