As far as noise goes, "new in X" is minor compared to all the stuff that's documented that the average user never needs... :-) And, of course, the "new in 2.x" could be formatted less space-consuming, perhaps to the right of the method name.

That makes it worse by giving the information a prominence it doesn't really deserve. It also doesn't help when the change being noted was a signature or semantics change, rather than the addition of the function.

As with many other things, being able to clean out some of this history will be one of the benefits of Py3k.

Cheers, Nick.
