Also, it seems this discussion should happen on python-dev so that more
people are aware of it.

Am not against removing dead batteries but Am still very skeptical and
disturbed about how the
decision to remove modules is made.i.e what goes and what remains?
For example, in the discussion section of PEP 594 , individuals kept
asking for some modules to remain and IIUC,
it's in the decision of the PEP to keep those modules on those grounds
that some people requested for those modules to remain.
For example, I now wonder how Andrew is different from those people?

Hi Andrew,
If someone ones smtpd, I would suggest to copy it from Python 3.10
(with asyncore and asynchat) and continue the maintenance outside the
CPython Git repository.
Create a project on PyPI if you expect contributions.
