Journal Journal: Python standard libraries to be reorganized

The process to reorganize the standard libraries for Python 3.0 has been announced, in keeping with Guido van Rossum's dictate to remove "silly old stuff". Deprecated and platform-specific modules make up most of the ones on the chopping block; others had poorly-chosen names, have been made obsolete or just never caught on.
