I think the documentation is pretty well organized overall.  There is
an issue of irreducible complexity though; someone that is searching
for a specific thing wouldn't care, but a newer user trying to get
their bearings on how this python thing works by browsing the standard
lib probably would.  Additionally, decoupling modules from the
interpreter release schedule would probably be a good thing.
