I updated and completed Chi Hsuan Yen's 3.6-deprecate-macpath.patch to create a pull request. I suggest to start by deprecating macpath in 3.7, and remove it from Python 3.8.
This module is here for years. macOS 9 is now dead, all macOS users migrated to OS X nowadays. I don't think that there is an urgency to *remove* macpath.
The title says "obsolete macpath module dangerously broken": is "dangerous" still up to date after the following fix?
New changeset 54987723de99 by Serhiy Storchaka in branch '3.4':
Issue #9850: Fixed macpath.join() for empty first component. Patch by
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/54987723de99
If yes, we may also warn users in the macpath documentation that the module is dangerous, especially in the documentation of Python < 3.7.
