Note carefully the deprecation in quotes. It's not going to be literally deprecated, only renamed, similar to the way socket and socket work together. We could also rename to threading, but I prefer the simpler change of only a prepended underscore. Could you specify exactly what you have in mind? How would backwards compatibility be maintained in 2.x?

I'm suggesting that we add a doc note that using the thread module is discouraged and that it will be renamed in 3.0.
