I thought I had a reasonable proposal: deprecate in 3.1, remove in 3.3. Adding a PendingDeprecationWarning in 3.0 would be fine. Doing anything in 2.6 would not be fine, except perhaps making it a PendingDeprecationWarning whan -3 is given.

PendingDeprecatingWarning: maybe. DeprecationWarning: no.
