> So -1 on splitting Python development style guide into multiple documents.

I don't think that the publicness or API stability promises of the
standard library are part of a style guide.  They're an essential part
of the library documentation.  They aren't a guide for 3rd-party code,
and are specific to the standard library.

If we can't come up with something reasonable for the standard
library, we *certainly* shouldn't be making recommendations on the
matter for 3rd party code.  If we do come up with something
reasonable, we can recommend it to others later (once field-proven),
and without duplication.  (Possibly by referring to the standard
library documentation, and possibly by refactoring.  That's not
important until we have something, though.)
