Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

If ConfigParser is not documented first, the name “SafeConfigParser” becomes 
strange—safe compared to what? These names have an historical motivation and 
could become clearer if renamed, but I don’t know if python-dev will agree with 
this deprecation. Renaming a class to an existing name with different behavior 
can be bad.

FTR, in my head RawConfigParser is the config parser, and SafeConfigParser is 
another thing that I’ll maybe use one day.
