many of them get the docstring from the stats.stats version
http://docs.scipy.org/scipy/source/scipy/dist/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/stats/mstats_basic.py#1840

So, maybe they should be marked as unimportant in either case.

stderr has deprecation message in the docstring but the mstats version
is not deprecated
zmap has the wrong docstring. (already mentioned before)

(Also I just saw that not all removed/deprecated stats.stats functions
have the deprecation message in the docstrings, and none uses yet the
new deprecated directive.)
