+Maintenance Burden
+------------------
+
+Over the years, certain modules have become a heavy burden upon
+python-dev to maintain. In situations like this, it is better for the
+module to be given to the community to maintain to free python-dev to
+focus more on language support and other modules in the standard
+library that do not take up a undue amount of time and effort.
+
+* bsddb3
+
+ + Already externally maintained at
+ http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm .
+ + Constant testing instability.
+ + Has consistently not been forward-ported to Python 3.0.
