Looks like the MDS ate the copy sent to the list, here's it again:

OK, I've now read PEPs 3108 and 11, but still would like some ruling
about RFEs in these stagnated Mac modules. Maybe PEP 4 could include a
note about RFEs in deprecated modules?

There are 40 C files, two headers and 69 python files in /Mac in
trunk. The 2.6 (and 2.5.x) docs say development has stopped and that
they'd be replaced in 2.5. So ISTM closing RFEs for these modules
would be an improvement.

OK, I'll let the bug reports open. What about RFEs?
