Hi Irit, Since it's documented as deprecated, asyncore and asynchat are deprecated as well since Python 3.6 (smtpd uses asynchat), I suggest to remove these 3 modules right now. I would prefer to make such incompatible change early in the development cycle, to give more time to users to adapt their projects.
We should explain to users how to handle this incompatible change in What's New in Python 3.11. IMO suggesting to copy the required modules into their project is an acceptable trade-off.
