I don't see anything wrong about adding a simple deprecation
warning
here, It won't happen again
for quite a while.
Distutils already had some argument name changes like that for
backward compatiblity (licence<->license) but they were not
displaying any warning.
What would be the problem with having both sets work and not
deprecate either? (ie: make them synonyms of each other?)
It violates toowtdi.
BBB concerns often trump TOOWTDI.
Sure, but there's no BBB concern here -- unless we create one.
