I think the information about since which version number it will be removed is more useful.

About deprecation, there is the funny story of bytes filenames on Windows. I deprecated this feature in Windows 3.3 since it was broken. I really wanted hard to remove support for bytes filenames on Windows.

One day, Steve Dower showed up with the PEP 529 "Change Windows filesystem encoding to UTF-8" and he just removed the deprecation warning from Python 3.6, since bytes filenames are now working as intended :-)
