I agree the wording "is always available" is quite ambiguous. It's just that we use this phrase pretty much everywhere... Example: First paragraph of https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html "It is always available." https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html?highlight=threading#module-threading "This module used to be optional, it is now always available." I wonder if it will be clearer if it says "is available across all platforms"?
