The library docs for, e.g. xmllib already say deprecated at the top - maybe it should be larger? 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.

+1, at least for hiding the documentation of xmllib + similar modules. I'm not sure wholesale removal is really a good idea.

It's like the new "Non-essential Built-in Functions" section of the lib ref.

Cheers, mwh
