I disagree, if the API violates the style guide. The point of the style guide is that we have uniform naming. For example, formlib violates the style guide completely. Unfortunately I did not look closer at it before the inclusion in the core, otherwise I would have strongly argued against it until those violations were fixed. I cannot remember things well. So uniform naming is very important to me, because it allows me to remember less. Every time I am starting to write UI code, I have to think: "Okay. I am going to use formlib. Crap, it is different than the rest. I need to use underscores. Okay." At the end of the day, I am ending up opening form.py to look up things; yes, I have not read the README yet.
