If you go back and look at Guido's Python 3000 Process email he said that the change could occur in 2.6 and then be done for 3000. Renaming modules is not that hard to make backwards-compatible by having old names fully import the new name directly (``from py.dev.pdb import *``)

hmm. I'm starting to think that the 3000 project may cause the core 2.X development to derail, even before 2.5 is out...
