a) The stdlib documentation should help users to choose the right tool right from the start. b) cElementTree should finally loose it's "special" status as a separate library and disappear as an accelerator module behind ElementTree. An at least somewhat informed +1 from me. The ElementTree API is a very good way to deal with XML from Python, and it deserves to be promoted over the included alternatives. Let's deprecate the NiCad batteries and try to guide users toward the Li-Ion ones.

If you are proposing to deprecate minidom: -1
