Well, I got your point, it is not about GPS module anymore, it is about
inability
of community decisions on the stuff that looks like highly subjective and
personal. I don't think I can get convincing data for that, because nobody
has the money to spend time on that data mining stuff, especially me.

So the final argument would need to be extended to do the research on
Python usage in non-computer science and system programming world
to see if GPS conversion module in standard library provides any value.

That means that we need to find the metrics that will be more useful than
just a PyPI download index.
