No, perhaps everyone did as I did, and assumed someone else would answer 
;-)

I don't remember there being much discussion of this yet.  I believe there 
is agreement to change names of modules to comform with PEP 8, but I 
suspect this a easier to accomodate in the autofixer than names within 
modules.

My personal position, at least for threading and telnet, would be change 
away, since I have never used either and would not be affected.  But I know 
others are in the opposite position, so I would not give mine much weight.

It also seems to me that module fixups might better wait until the kernal 
and fixup code are more stable.
