A few bits and pieces in the stdlib still use bits from rfc822. They all mostly look pretty shallow, except:

* Make mimetools, mimify, Mimewrite raise DeprecationWarnings. (This is the part I'm least sure about; comments from people who know about these modules would be appreciated. Should they raise Pending instead?)

mimetools.Message subclasses rfc822.Message, and mimetools.Message is used extensively in the std lib.
