it's not new code, and having different module names for the same well-established library isn't very nice to anyone.
Modules should have short, lowercase names, without underscores. But if we don't start becoming stricter about the naming of things added to the stdlib, consistency of naming is never going to improve. Or should this wait for Py3k?
For contributions that are also maintained separately from Python, I think compatibility with the external code has to have some importance. I vote we wait for Py3k.
