I am not sure how best to deprecate dependence on the Python 2.5 mistake, but this is not it. And I know at least one important library that is affected.
I'll agree that it's not great. I certainly would have preferred it not to have been done. It is futile to complain about this kind of thing on python-list, though. Raise the issue on python-dev. I don't think anyone will listen to you, but who knows until you try. If you have an alternate suggestion to make, that might help gain some traction; if not, the issue will probably just be dismissed. Even so, I suspect someone will say "This is irrelevant, just rename your attribute." Python developers aren't much concerned with this kind of thing.
