Shouldn't the template loaders be refactored to use the same style as the static file finders? (i.e. loaders.AppDirectoriesLoader)

Can't the transition be done in a backwards-compatible way, at least until Django 1.5 or something?

This definitely feels like shuffling deck chairs... While I love consistency, the value of it weighed against an entire deprecation process is uninspiring. I'm generally -1 on renaming anything just for the sake of renaming.
I'm not convinced the gain in consistency is worth the backwards incompatibility.
