It seems to me like spliting an empty string is something that makes little
sense to do,
similar to dividing by zero in terms of an analogy.
How about str.split, partition and friends just raise ValueError exception
when the value is the empty string?

wasn't always the case. Do you really want to go back to .split() and .splitfields(sep)?
I hope not. I consider the current situation to be a definite improvement. I sometimes forgot which was which.
