Proof that percent formatting isn't planned for deprecation, much less
removal. There is strong support for it in certain quarters of
python-dev. It's a fully supported language feature, not an old and
outmoded feature that is kept solely for backward compatibility (as
"old-style classes" are in Python 2.7 - you can still use them, but as
of Python 3, only "new-style classes" exist).
