What I learned is that once a library is in the stdlib, it's usually stuck being maintained for a long time. And then you've got all these libraries that see no use because they were ill-conceived or better ideas came along.

I don't think stdlibs should be barren, but I completely get the ideas of languages like Rust that want to include only the most obvious of candidates and leave the rest for the community to organically evolve.
