As a follow-up to the "[Python-Dev] (Looking for) A Retrospective on the Move to Python 3" thread, I will like to clarify how a feature should be removed from Python.

Would it be possible (and sensible) to use the 2to3 machinery to produce 36to37.py, etc., to do mechanical replacements when possible and flag other things when necessary?
