Rework transition plan based on current discussions on python-dev.

Also reword some other random things.

 For modules to be removed
 -------------------------
 
-A PendingDeprecationWarning will be set in Python 2.6 for all modules
-slated to be removed in Python 3.0.  This will allow people to know
-which modules will not exist but without being overly noisy since
-PendingDeprecationWarning is by default silenced.
+For the removal of modules that are continuing to exist in the Python
+2.x series (i.e., not deprecated explicitly in the 2.x series), a
+proper warning will be set that is silenced by default;
+PendingDeprecationWarning initially, moving over to a Py3K-specific
+warning later if one comes into existence.
 
 
-For modules to be renamed
--------------------------
+Renaming of modules
+-------------------
 
-Modules will be renamed in Python 2.6.  The original names of the
-modules will still work but will raise a PendingDeprecationWarning
-upon import.  The refactoring tool for transitioning to Python 3.0
-will refactor imports that use the new names.
+For modules that are renamed, stub modules will be created with the
+original names and be kept in a package within the stdlib.  The need
+to keep them within a package is to prevent naming conflicts
+with case-insensitive filesystems. 
+
+These stub modules will import the module code based on the new
+naming.  The same type of warning being raised by modules being
+removed will be raised in the stub modules.
+
+Support in the 2to3 refactoring tool for renames will also be used
+[#2to3]_.  Import statements will be rewritten so that only the import
+statement and none of the rest of the code needs to be touched.  This
+will be accomplished by using the ``as`` keyword in import statments
+to bind in the module namespace to the old name while importing based
+on the new name.
