I think one first needs to wait until this happens, I meana large user base is formed, before a meaningful discussion can be done on whether to include it in the stdlib or not. The long and largely academic thread here I think illustrates this point. Without a large user base it's up to anybody's gut feelings what is 'right' and what 'feels wrong'.
