sysmodule is a core & built-in strictly speaking, but I think it's fine to keep it under Library as it's the user-facing stuff.

Since this change is in Python/_warnings.c, should this entry stay under Core and Builtins?

It's in Python because we need to access it from everywhere, but the module itself is more as a "library" module. @serhiy-storchaka thoughts on this one? I think it doesn't really matter though (and it could even be a "build" change...).

This is on border. I have no strong opinion.

There is a stable C API for warnings, but it can be used without importing the module, and I think this change did not affect the users of this C API. So, I think it is fine to keep Library.

There is a distinction between a built-in module and a built-in. I'd leave it in "Library" here. (A builtin module is a module that is always in the interpreter and contributes to its overall filesize; it's also statically linked). What matters here is what happens for the user (that is, they can now use atexit in sub-interpreters).

There is no stable public C API for atexit. Even if this is tied to interpreter internals, the only way it can be used by importing the atexit module. So, Library.

I'm thinking this one is Core and Builtins. It's true that the changes are in importlib, but the PR modifies _bootstrap_external.py and thus affects how cpython finds modules globally. Specifically, I expect anything that uses find_loader() would be implicated by this change.
