[New-bugs-announce] [issue25002] Deprecate asyncore/asynchat

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

Now that we've got asyncio in two releases (3.4 and 3.5) we should start deprecating asyncore and asynchat. There isn't much use of these in the stdlib (smtpd.py uses them, and a bunch of tests) and we should probably rewrite those to use asyncio. Maybe smtpd.py can be deprecated itself.
