It's water under the bridge now, but IMO it was too rash to *remove* the old threading API from Py3k, and doubly rash to do so one day before the beta release. Running up to a release (whether alpha, beta or final) we should practice extra restraint, not rush to get things in right before the deadline. Let's all be more careful the rest of this release cycle! (I think it wasn't just Benjamin who raced to get things in...)
Also, for any method or module renaming, there is no way around a full grep through the code base to really catch all uses of the old API. It may be tedious, especially with common names, but such bugs really must be avoided as they can easily be -- I still could find uses of old-style threading names, even in the stdlib. (Fixed in r64222.)
