Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

In this case, I propose to drop the feature without deprecation. It is very 
easy to adjust the build process of packages that still use the feature, and 
even end users can rename the files.

If you want to improve ease-of-use, you could still do the stat calls, and 
record whether a file would have been imported. If then the import fails, put a 
message into the import error saying the /some/where/somemodule.so was ignored 
because the file name is no longer supported.
