Just for information, here is the current distribution of the two synonym kinds:
(on py3k)

$ grep "self.assert" Lib/test/test_*.py | wc -l
14972
$ grep "self.fail" Lib/test/test_*.py | wc -l
1807

If no rational argument prevails, at least we have data on the past and current
habits of the python-dev community.
