As to why they are separate, you'll need to ask Brett.  I believe it's
meant to keep the top namespace as small as possible.

Regarding this changeset, it depended on
importlib.util.resolve_name(), so moving find_spec() made sense.  We
discussed it briefly in issue #19944 and everyone there agreed it was
fine.
