I can't say I liked how that transition was handled last time around. I really don't want to have to tell people "Oh, that bug is fixed but you have to use regex instead of re" and then a few years later have to tell them "Oh, we're deprecating regex, you should just use re". I'm really hoping someone has more actual technical understanding of re vs. regex and can give us some facts about the differences, rather than, frankly, FUD.
The best way would be to contact the author, Matthew Barnett, or to ask on the tracker on http://bugs.python.org/issue2636. He has been quite willing to answer such questions in the past, AFAIR.

Antoine.
