IPython and BPython and Xonsh are projects that exist. I doubt the Python REPL will ever be as full featured as those, and I don't really think it should hope to. Similarly for IDLE or PyCharm or Spyder or Jupyter for folks who like GUIs. Apart from the maintenance work required for CPython (and for other Python implementations), the feature cadence is likely to be faster on those projects than is the Python core. That said, I definitely appreciate some small improvements in the REPL sooner the years, probably ones you have added, Oleg. So it's a balancing act, I recognize.
