A cleaner way to effectuate the transition would be to leave the camelCase API in 2.6 (for both modules), switch to PEP 8 in py3k (for both modules) +1 That makes good sense.

No. It makes no sense to introduce a new API in 2.6 and change it again in 3.0. That sounds like another foolish consistency.

, and provide threading3k and multiprocessing3k modules in 2.6 that façade the 2.6 API with the PEP 8 API. +0 PEP 8 is nice but it's not that important.
