Maybe deprecating rfc822 simply isn't a worthwhile goal? Anyway, here's a revised action list: * Remove TERMIOS, mpz, statcache, xreadlines, rotor. (Unchanged from my earlier proposal.) These modules have raised DeprecationWarning for a while, but only rotor is listed in PEP 4. I'll add them to the PEP in any event; is not being listed sufficient grounds for delaying their removal to 2.5? (I would say we don't need to wait until 2.5; they've been raising DeprecationWarnings for a long time, so users should be well aware the modules' days are numbered.) * Leave rfc822, mimetools alone; the stdlib will have to avoid their use first, and I'm not going to do that right now. * Make mimify, MimeWriter raise DeprecationWarnings; nothing in the stdlib uses them.

What about DeprecationWarning for whrandom? (Not that I care personally.)
