It was decided to start deprecating the asyncore, asynchat and smtpd

DeprecationWarning.
Wait, only Python 3.10?
According to the policy, the warning should be there for *at least* two
releases. (That's a minimum, for removing entire modules it might make
sense to give people even more time.)
The PEP 387 says "Similarly a feature cannot be removed without notice
between any two consecutive releases."
It is the case here. The 3 modules are marked as deprecated for 4
releases in the documentation: Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 and 3.10. Example:
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/asyncore.html
PEP 387 also contains a detailed process for making incompatible
changes, which calls for warnings to appear in at least two releases.
Do you think the process section can be ignored? We should remove it
from the PEP if that's the case.
