Should Calendar types and timezones be part of Elixir standard library?

If I read this correctly, the core team wants good standardized contracts for dealing with times, dates and timezones. What would only change is that libraries like timex, calendar and ecto will be modified to implement behaviours which will be defined in the Elixir stdlib itself; they will still be separate libraries, only they will all implement the now standardized contracts. The implementation freedom – and pluggability – remains.
