[issue44246] 3.10 beta 1: breaking change in importlib.metadata entry points

After reading through the points here, I must say I agree with Anthony here. The standard library has clear rules regarding how previously working interfaces should be deprecated, and this changeset is violating those. At no point was documented that relying on the list/dict trait of the existing interface is not part of the interface. I don't think the importlib libraries are special enough to warrant exclusion from this rule (as opposed let's say the zoneinfo).
