I prefer removal for ease of maintenance (people always want to update code even if it's deprecated), and to help make sure people who don't read the docs but discover something via the REPL or something and don't run with warnings on do not accidentally come to rely on something that's deprecated.
I see what you mean but it doesn't really answer my question. I was asking about a scenario where you plan on purpose a long deprecation period because you know in advance that you cannot remove the functionality soon (because of PEP 384 or because it's used a lot, for example collections ABCs).
