[New-bugs-announce] [issue42264] Deprecate or remove sqlite3.OptimizedUnicode

[Erlend Egeberg Aasland]

New submission from Erlend Egeberg Aasland <erlend.aasland at innova.no>:

Ref. discussion on GH-23148: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/23148#discussion_r517536083

OptimizedUnicode was obsoleted and undocumented in Python 3.3 (see commit 86dc732f1f).

Suggesting to either deprecate OptimizedUnicode in 3.10 and remove it in 3.11, or just simply remove it in 3.10.

Relevant history:
48b13f0427 (undoc)
bc35bebb45 (clean up and undoc, closing bpo-13921)

(Pablo, adding you to nosy since you're the release manager; hope that's ok)
