[Guido van Rossum]
Based on our experiences so far, I think that of the two options we
have, both of which are bad, it's better to keep things in 3.1 that we
were planning to remove but forgot, than to make 3.1 have a whole slew
of additional removals. We've removed cmp() in 3.0.1, and I think that
was actually the right thing to do given its prominence and the clear
decision to remove it, but for smaller stuff that didn't make the cut
I think we should favor backwards compatibility over cleanup.
To some extent we get both by leaving them in the module
but continuing to be left out of the docs.
