What's wrong with having a robust stdlib? Are those extra 50 megabytes really a problem?

The issue is not the size of the stdlib but rather the process for how things get in there. IMHO Python's stdlib has a number of modules of sub-standard quality and design. It would be good to have a gradual process for inclusion in the stdlib, so that different 3rd party libraries could be vetted by the community before we bake one into the language.
