We already have 214 standard packages. That's 214 pieces of software
copy & pasted into the sage releases... and 214 SPKGs that the sage
developers need to keep updating, and 214 distro packages that every
distro maintainer needs to keep track of as dependencies of the sage
package.

(Even that is not an honest accounting, since a few of our jupyter
dependencies are patched to hide the enormous dependency trees that
distribution packagers cannot avoid.)

More-itertools looks small and useful, but some day we have to stop
allowing that number to grow faster than anyone can chase it.
