> I haven't seriously used Python in a long time, but from occasionally glancing at release notes, they seem to regularly deprecate things. The meaning of deprecation changed a bit. Before 3.6 or so things were deprecated, but just left in and maybe eventually removed when they broke for good, which would rarely happen. Nowadays deprecation means it will actually be removed after two releases (years), and a lot of stuff was deprecated basically just because it was old. I don't think that's an amazing signal to send, honestly.
