Just my 2 cents: - I think dedocumenting the type-specific methods is fine (it doesn't mean removing them, though); or perhaps relegate them to some advanced section - It's unfortunate that the renaming suggestion comes so late; I'm not sure it's a good idea to rename lots of things after they were introduced (although I really don't like assertRegexpMatches) - assertIsInstance looks more natural to me than the alternative - I don't think there's any point in undoing the package splitting, since it makes Michael's work easier and other people didn't object (not people who actively contribute to unittest, that is)
