MRAB's module offers a superset of re's features rather than a subset though, so once it has had more of a chance to bake on PyPI it may be worth another look.
I feel like the new module is designed to replace the current re module, and shouldn't need to spend time in PyPI. A faster regex library isn't going to motivate users to add external dependencies to their projects.
If the backwards compatibility issues can be addressed and MRAB is willing to remain as maintainer then the advantages seem well worth it to me. Michael
