Would a leading underscore in the module name make you more comfortable with the idea? It's really intended mostly as a hidden implementation detail of the installers and pyvenv anyway, so calling it "ensurepip" would help make that explicit while still letting people invoke it directly if absolutely necessary.

If it was also undocumented, and we can guarantee that it will have no impact outside of the module itself, then maybe. I'm not sure it would be enough for me to accept it if I were the RM, but I'm not (thankfully. :).

I still think it's optimistic to pin any hopes on its widespread availability in future 2.7 point releases on people's actual systems.
