I say leave the new names in 3.0 and let the 2-to-3 tool do its job. Why confuse the 2.6 landscape with double naming clutter. To increase the common subset of code which can run on both 2.6 and 3.0 without invoking 2to3?

Right. 2.6 is trying to be as much of a reasonable subset of Python 3.0 as possible. This includes module names.

PEP-8'ifying these names also makes them easier for at least me to remember (since I don't have to worry about whether or not the module name includes unexpected underscores or strange capitalisation)

That too. =)
