Now that the issue has been brought up, it can certainly be taken into
consideration for 3.3. The idea of defining a Py_PORTABLE_API that is
even more restrictive than PEP 384 (e.g. eliminating lots of old cruft

the *only* viable Python implementation) may also be worth exploring.

Absolutely. I intend to do just that.

I think we should try to have deprecations and removals in the codebase
by the first alpha release for maximal testing.

My next sentence [snipped] was "GP's asyncore changes inspired this thought, but I would apply it generally."

Why would we deprecate or remove anything? Are some functions useless?

Shannon thinks so. I am specifically suggesting that he make any removal suggestion well before the alpha release.

I think he's referring to deprecations and removals in general.

Yes, as I said. I am also thinking about 3.2 deprecations that will become 3.3 removals. That includes one that I am responsible for.
