A mention in Misc/NEWS can't hurt here, Terry. Even though it's undocumented, some old code could rely on it being there and this code will break with the transition to 3.4

Will do.

Note that we also have a list of deprecated things that were removed in What's New.

Aside: given the 3.3 experience, I think people should be thinking in terms of always updating What's New when appropriate, at the time a commit is made.

How does this look? Is replacement right? Should the subsequent sm by itself be marked? If so, how?
