I think the existing warning in the docs and the fact it's apparently been
fundamentally broken for years is sufficient justification for just
dropping it entirely. An explicit deprecation warning could be added in
3.6.1 and a Py3k warning in 2.7.x, though - those changes shouldn't be
difficult, and it's a nice courtesy for anyone that *is* somehow currently
getting it to work.

Cheers,
Nick.
