Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment:
I am not convinced. What are examples of using re.match() instead of 
re.search()? How common is this type of errors?

There are perhaps many millions of scripts which use re.match(), deprecating 
re.match() at any time in future would be very destructive, and keeping an 
alias indefinitely would only add more confusion.
