I'll use the same strategy than sysconfig :
- if the API is just moved to another place and works exactly the same way
(e.g. like what's planned for make_archive), it will be dropped, and the
documentation will refer to the new place.
Is this the standard procedure for relocation of stdlib APIs across
2.x releases?
I was under the impression that the standard is to do such things
across two release cycles with a deprecation.
