[New-bugs-announce] [issue21581] Consider dropping importlib.abc.Loader.create_module()

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

As Armin Ronacher pointed out, it's a bit odd having the importlib.abc.Loader ABC have a method whose default does nothing and having the method itself be entirely optional. Might as well just drop it from the ABC and instead just make sure that create_module() is documented appropriately (it's such an advanced use case it might also simplify things to not have it in the typical user's face).
