The new module is now five years old.  PEP 429 Python 3.4 release 
schedule has it listed under "Other proposed large-scale changes" but I 
don't believe this is actually happening.  Lots of issues on the bug 
tracker have been closed as fixed in the new module, see issue 2636 for 
more data.  Some work is still being carried out on the old re module.

So where do we stand?  Is the new module getting into Python 3.x, Python 
4.y or what?  If no do all the old issues have to be reopened and 
applied to the re module?  Who has to make the final decision on all of 
this?

Note that I've no direct interest as I rarely if ever use the little 
perishers, I just find this situation bizarre.
