[issue8090] PEP 4 should say something about the standard library

[Sjoerd Mullender]

New submission from Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd at acm.org>:

When a module or feature is deprecated, all uses of the deprecated module/feature should be removed from the non-deprecated part of the distribution (and, I would argue, also from the other deprecated modules).
I think PEP 4 should say something to this effect.

I suggest adding a sentence to the section "Procedure for declaring a module deprecated", something like:  "The proposal MUST include patches to remove any use of the deprecated module from the standard library."
