Since x[a:b] is not basic syntax (like it once was) but simply the combination of operator.getitem and slice() I don't see the point of keeping operator.getitem.
PS. I don't know how useful the operator module really is -- in all those years it's existed I haven't really used it myself, and I'm always baffled when I see code using it. The only great use I have found for it myself is attrgetter and itemgetter, but those were added by Raymond in 2.5 (I think). Otherwise I never use it.
Same here, although very occasionally I use one or two others. I
still think attrgetter could be made more useful by dereferencing dot-
paths.
