While we're at it, can we change the name of the argument? "normed"
has caused so much confusion over the years. We could deprecate
normed=True in favor of pdf=True or density=True.

We may even want to consider leaving the normed=True implementation
alone with just the deprecation warning. While the behavior is
incorrect, it is also very long-standing and something that people
might simply have coded around. Changing the behavior without
deprecation might break their workarounds silently. I admit it's a bit
of a stretch, but conservativeness and coupled with the opportunity to
make a desirable name change make this more attractive.
