Oh wow, the SC accepted the latest version of PEP 594, "Removing the dead batteries from the standard library" a few days ago!

@brettsky@mastodon.technology The final list of modules to be removed looks pretty uncontroversial to me.
@brettsky@mastodon.technology It will be interesting to see if any of these transition into being PyPI packages, and whether they will use the same name. Might be a good test run for trying out a process for moving a module out of stdlib and onto PyPI.
