Well, it would be deprecated like the other email modules, that is, only a note is added to the docs and it is added to PEP 4. There would be no warning. IIRC, when I brought this up ages ago, there was some grumbling that multifile is useful for other than email/MIME applications. Still, I'm +1 on PEP 4'ing it.

Which means "go ahead" or "wait for others to be -1"?
