Thank, checking 594 is a good idea; I understand why you are thorn, and I can 
see how such a change can be seen as noise. But I believe that consistency will 
be a win in the long run.

It make complete sens to decide whether and how to rename on a per-module 
basis. But for each module the discussion should likely be on b.p.o. 

My original request on bpo[1] was for `re` which is actively maintained, but I 
was advised to ask for a more general policy and thoughts here as whether 
renaming of a an exception was acceptable.
