Do you want to remove the PendingDeprecationWarning builtin symbol, or just make it an alias to DeprecationWarning. I'm fine with "PendingDeprecationWarning = DeprecationWarning".

I meant an alias in builtin.

IMHO your email title is misleading. You don't want to remove PendingDeprecationWarning, you only want to make it an alias to DeprecationWarning, right? In term of backward compatibility, it's very different :-)

Yes. It will be removed at some point, but not in near future.

But when when backward compatibility can be kept by alias, we can be very lazy about removing it.

We have socket.error for long time.
