To be clear, I'm not suggesting moving anything in or out of the  
standard library. Just taking what's in the standard library and  
packaging it up, and allowing for releases of these packages to happen  
on PyPI (or for people to more easily include VCS checkouts of these  
packages in their Buildouts or Pip-outs). The main Python interpreter  
download would still include the same standard library packages (or  
whatever the python-dev wants to be in there), and they would still be  
installed in the same way, just with the addition of .egg-info files  
to make them PEP 376 compliant (right now wsgiref in the standard  
library has an .egg-info but it's an exception).

It's been considered before (Chris Withers was recently asking for  
it), and perhaps before that. I was kvetching about this on the stdlib- 
sig last month, where I outlined some of the other problems that not  
having standard packaging for the standard library presents:
