Yeah, given that part of my argument when I updated PEP 414 was "the
lack of explicit unicode literals creates useless noise in version
control diffs", I can hardly fault you for using a similar argument
against changing package directory names!
Hopefully Eric can capture this clearly in the new PEP so future
readers will have a clear understanding of the trade-offs involved.
Cheers,
Nick.
