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? * :meth:difflib.SequenceMatcher.isbjunk and :meth:difflib.SequenceMatcher.isbpopular: use x in sm.bjunk and x in sm.bpopular, where sm is a SequenceMatcher object.

Looks fine to me. A link on SequenceMatcher probably isn't necessary, but might be handy. If you want to add it it would be :class:~difflib.SequenceMatcher.
