I traced back the red boxes to this[1] commit.

[1] http://svn.python.org/view?view=revision&revision=17867

I actually don't know what to do exactly here: those functions are
deprecated from string module but they are still available in
string/unicode objects, so I'm inclined to leave things as they are,
unless you can show us a strong opinion on that along with a detailed
plan of how you'd like to see the doc to be change in this regards.

Cheers,

PS: resent to both recipients.
