[issue40578] Deprecate numeric item access for platform.uname()

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

You have given no justification for removing item access for the fields except "some users are still relying on ... access by item position and length". Normally the fact that some people are doing this would be reason to reject this backwards-compatibility breaking change. Why is it a problem that people are using something which is documented as a tuple as a tuple?
