For things that really are removed (and I won't get in to the reasons for why something must be removed), I think a useful stance is "we won't remove anything that would make it hard to support a single code base across all supported python versions". We'd need to define "hard", maybe "no hasattr calls" would be part of it.
On second thought, I guess the existing policy already does this. Maybe we should make it more than 2 versions for deprecations? I've written libraries where I support 4 or 5 released versions. Although maybe I should just trim that back. Eric
