Guido van Rossum:
Does that mean that SimpleHTTPServer would now be ...
Creating a hierarchy for future stuff is a different discussion. We're not going to rename existing modules that violate PEP 8.
Obviously, backwards compatibility means that we shouldn't remove the current name any more than we should remove the string module.
There is an option to just expose the old interface (name) as an alias (like the string module does).
Would it be OK to move the existing modules if a forward was used, or would it still be bad because it would encourage writing new code that couldn't run under older python versions?
