9. System Python
   /usr/libexec/system-python
   Intended for essential system tools & Cloud
   Doesn't include the full standard library
   Packages can opt in to (and test with) it
   Precedents
   Debian's python-minimal
   already unbundled: tkinter (+idle, turtle), test
   Future idea for dist-sig:
   Way for packages to optionally specify stdlib subset?
