ISTM that the new name is worse than the old name.  I hadn't followed this 
issue, heard assertCountEqual the first time today, and couldn't guess what it 
does.  I'd have assumed that it checks only for equality of the number of items 
in a sequence, not for equality of the actual items.

I appreciate that it's hard finding good short names, but just because the 
implementation uses collections.Counter does not mean that Count needs to be in 
the method name :)
