The approaches to module deprecation I have seen are: 1. Nothing changes to the deprecation process; you deprecate a module and remove it in one to two releases 2. Deprecate the module but with no plans for removal until Python 2.7 reaches its EOL (I have been calling this Python 4) 3. Document the deprecation but no actual code deprecation

Of course #2 LGTM. What if at the same time add Py3k warning in next 2.7 bugfix release?
