[New-bugs-announce] [issue28022] SSL releated deprecation for 3.6

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

I like to deprecate some SSL related parts of Python:

- ssl.wrap_socket() is a horrible abomination. People should use SSLContext.wrap_socket() instead
- all certfile/cert_file, keyfile/key_file and check_hostname arguments. Use context / ssl_context instead.
- make ftplib, imaplib, nntplib, pop3lib, smtplib etc. validate certs by default.
