Also - we could leave in stubs to match the threading api - Guido, David Goodger and others really prefer not to continue the "broken" API of the threading API I agree that the threading the the pyprocessing APIs should be PEP 8 compliant, but I think 2 APIs is almost worse than one wrong one.

I disagree. If you state upfront that one of them is only for backwards-compatibility/transitioning and will be going away in the future, then I think it is fine to have the extra API.

In that case, I'm +1 as long as we implement a full DeprecationWarning on one.
