I am happy that people like Brett Cannon are in the Python Core Dev team getting things moving along. For reference here is the first discussions: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-removing-dead-batteries-from-the-standard-library/1704 https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-removing-dead-batteries... and https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/NRSGCZKKICMR5DAF454I7CV3NWHGMU2Q/#KURMNB3JJDPI6DKLWOQ3HSW3PGUT7N3T https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/... And nearly 3 years later here is the second discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-take-2-removing-dead-batteries-from-the-standard-library/13508 https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-take-2-removing-dead-ba... I thought that feedback from the first discussion was carefully considered and I'm pretty happy with take 2. I have used the some of the modules being removed but largely agree now they are either legacy or there are significantly better third party options.
