I don't think that anybody seriously expected the unittest package
would be restructured again. The remaining thrust of the thread seems
to be whether PEP 8 should advise against breaking code up into many
little modules. Personally I don't think it should -- it should by now
be clear that this is not an area where one style will fit all. I also
think that the convenience of one style over another might have
something to do with the tools being used.
