That's sometimes a reason to deprecate something. which seems like you're saying that breaking existing well-behaving modules is sometimes a good reason to deprecate something.
I think Guido's point was that deprecating something is not the same as making a backwards incompatible change. It probably would be good to deprecate features that will be removed in 3.0.
IMO, the sys.exitfunc should not be renamed to sys._exitfunc before 3.0.
