From your arguments above, it doesn't sound like the python3-full solves
a problem you experience. So, I'm not sure why you'd be using it.

If it doesn't include distutils, venv, lib2to3, etc. then it doesn't
solve any problem we currently have, and we don't need it. The purpose
is to provide a package that gives you the entire stdlib.
