Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: I would love to use the time machine to kill the 'fail' variants as well as 'assert_'. However they are in use and we don't want to break people's tests. Breaking tests is painful. And there are a lots of tests. So we'll have to support them for a long, long time. Maybe we can stop documenting them in 3.1 (this would also require changing things so that the 'def' lines all use the 'assert' variants). Then maybe we can start deprecating them in 3.2 and 3.3, and perhaps remove them in 3.4. I recommend we let 2.x alone, but 2to3 should fix all these.
