A few comments:
Intro to delete: could point out here that anyone who really wants a
deleted module can/should update it to work with 3.0 and make available
through PyPI.
---------
obsolete/popen2 ... "replaces them."
'them' should be 'it': any other popenx modules seem to be gone
already
---------------
"This
will be accomplished by using the ``as`` keyword in import statements
to bind in the module namespace to the old name while importing based
on the new name.
"
This should only be done if there is not already an 'as' clause!
If there is, just substitute.
-----------------------
+1 on everything proposed. This will make the stdlib less confusing,
especially for newcomers.
I might like to see even more packages, but do not have the energy to
research/propose/argue for any.
