I will leave macosx alone at least until after 3.6.8.  But I plan to merge some modules and want to be able to rename others.  #33906 changed windows.py to window.py for 3.7.1 (and 3.6.7).  The 3.7.1 Windows installer deleted windows.py; the macOS installer did not.  Tal, do you have a Linux 3.7.1 upgrade of 3.7.0?  What is the downside of the old, dead version?

I could, for the maintenance version, add back a file containing
"# renamed xyz.py" or "# merged into abc.py".  An possible example of the latter is merging autocomplete_w.py into autocomplete.py.  (I strongly suspect that the split was for a Java-esque one-class per module rule.)  Can modules be made system specific without great hassle?
