You're correct that it could break code checking the module's __name__ value if 
that was changed.

As for why I care, it sucks trying to import this module for any reason. Any 
place you touch this module you have to proper try/except ImportError checks to 
work around its multiple names. I just personally think it's a bit silly to 
have to do that.

Anyway, there's a reason why I marked this a low priority. :)
