[stdlib-sig] moving queue.Queue to threading.Queue?

(this mailing list seems to have quieted down a bit, but it seems like
it's the most appropriate place to bring this up).

Now that python has the multiprocessing module that also has it's own
Queue class, would it make sense to move the queue.Queue to the
threading module? I found a reference to this from back in 2007, but
that was before multiprocessing so there might not have been a
compelling reason to move the library. It'd be a little more
orthogonal. That said, it's pretty late to be making any changes to
3.0, but I figure this would be the last time for a long time to
consider doing this.
