> 3.8.0b1 is scheduled to be release shortly after the PEP is officially submitted. Since it's improbable that the PEP will pass all stages of the PEP process in time, I propose a two step acceptance process that is analogous Python's two release deprecation process. Why should this be fast-tracked outside the normal process? I can’t imagine any of these removals are urgent.
