Poor choice of words.  The concrete implementations didn't change at all. 

Perhaps the concrete implementation need to be brought more in-sync with the ABC.  That would be reasonable; afteralll the goal is substitutability  -- that is the only reason that the old xrange morphed into something with nearly useless count() and index() methods in the first place.
