That entirely depends on when you define to be "the start". It seems to me the consensus on python-dev has been that packages primarily evolve outside the stdlib; it seems a bit weird to then, at the time of stdlib inclusion, start changing the API.

But this bit of the API is there only as a hack, because stdlib does not support is_dst. We are changing that. Hence those extra functions are no longer needed.
