PEP-594 is actually causing me some anxiety - I deal with a good amount of code that uses some of those “batteries to be removed”.

Some of them (telnetlib) I can vendor in, but I wonder how many people who use them will be caught pantsless?

I reckon if you're the sort of org who will update the Python version you use, you're going to be switched on enough to handle this somehow. I don't use any of these "dead" batteries though, so I can't speak with any authority on the matter
