I think it would be better to *remove* the xmllib documentation. Existing code which needs the module will continue to work even without documentation, and new code is unlikely to be written for a module that has no documentation, and where importing the module gives a DeprecationWarning.
I like this solution. And if anyone cares about having good docs still for a deprecated module they can just read the docstrings. We don't get new people using it but others don't have to change their code.
And as for the mention of dropping PEP 4, I agree with the running consensus that it isn't needed thanks to the warning module. Do we need to have a more formal vote to drop PEP 4, or should one the PEP maintainers just delete it?
