The rename is required to make the library compliant with one of the internal checks that disallows having a directory named third_party.
As discussed offline, accessed to objects from third_party module in the top-level namespace (openfermion.object_name) should remain unchanged and all modules inside the third_party/ directory are private. Also, the code is not expected to be used much and the rename is therefore considered safe to do.
