Does the proposed renaming include any restructuring (e.g. making hierarchies out of all or part of the stdlib where none existed before)? It wasn't obvious to me. For example, might there be a restructuring of the entire stdlib?

Skip, that's really for PEP 3108 to decide, not really my PEP 364. I
believe that the mechanism I describe in PEP 364 could support a
restructured stdlib, at least as far as renamed modules go.
Basically, it's just a hack to support aliasing an import of one name
(the old name) through the import of another name (the new name).
