[Python-Dev] Forgotten Py3.0 change to remove Queue.empty() and Queue.full()

I recommend adding a warning to 3.0.2 and removing in 3.1.
Waiting for more 3.x uptake doesn't serve our users well.
IIRC, that was the rationale for cmp() removal in 3.0.1.
Even in 2.x, these methods were documented as being 
unreliable and were removed from the 3.0 docs entirely.
We discussed removing them and most of the work was done.  


Guido, any thoughts?
