I presume that once it's removed from the core, it will still be
possible to install it via pip or some other mechanism.
If somebody rescues the code and puts it in Pypi (assuming the
copyright owner allows that). IIRC, somebody is trying to do that, but
there some contention because Pypi won't allow the use of the name
"nntplib" for the package because it conflicts with a library builtin.
well, it turns out that while there was a long debate about the merits,
the actual request to free up the previously blocked name on PyPI was
granted rather quickly, and it's there:
