Zachary Ware added the comment:
The thought on consolidating is to match Doc/library/msvcrt.rst which does the
same thing. Also, when I started reading this page shortly before opening this
issue, I was reading most of the page at once and was frankly pretty annoyed by
seeing the same notice over and over. Although I could see the point of having
a much shorter blurb on each affected function in addition to an explanatory
note at the top. So instead of
'''
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
This function used to raise a :exc:`WindowsError`, which is now an
alias of :exc:`OSError`.
'''
on each one, something like
'''
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
:exc:`WindowsError` is :exc:`OSError`
'''
perhaps?
