R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

assertEquals existed forever, too, but we deprecated that :) (with no intent to 
remove it, as I understand it).

There is no more ambiguity in "assertLessThan" than there is in assertLT, one 
just has more letters.  True, you have to look it up the first time, but you 
have to do that anyway, so I don't see that as a big deal.  Once you've looked 
it up the first time you know the naming rule and you can figure out all the 
other names.  (Which is not true now, since instead of 'LessThan' we have 
"Less", which does *not* correspond to to the special method name by a simple 
rule).
