Although 'test' is listed in the python module list
(https://docs.python.org/3/py-modindex.html) it is meant only to be
used 'internally' by folks developing python itself. Per the
documentation:
Note The test package is meant for internal use by Python only. It
is documented for the benefit of the core developers of Python. Any
use of this package outside of Python’s standard library is
discouraged as code mentioned here can change or be removed without
notice between releases of Python.
Per the above it is best not to include this module to discourage
folks who might not head the above warnings. Additionally this module
is one of the largest py modules going, by dropping this unneeded
module from the 'modules' package we can reduce overall image size,
something which is important for many embedded deployments.
The generator scripts as well as the manifests have thus been modified
accordingly, providing a generic mechanism to exclude modules from the
'all modules' package.
