Actually a pretty big -1 from me.
I'd prefer to see the standard library getting smaller, not bigger, and
packages being upgradeable independently from the Python version as a
result.
Every time I see things like the following I cry a little inside:
try:
try:
from py2stdliblocation import FooBar as Foo
except ImportError:
from py3stdliblocation import foo as Foo
except ImportError:
from pypilocation import Foo
Now we're talking about having to add __preview__ into that mix too?
