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.
