New Revision: 53355

Modified:
   peps/trunk/pep-3108.txt
Log:
Clean up the discussion of the removal of modules based on PEP 4 or
documentation (a discrepency that will hopefully get fixed soon).  Part of the
clean up is to no longer explicitly list modules slated for removal that are
mentioned in PEP 4 so as to not keep a duplicate copy of that list.

 Previously deprecated
 ---------------------
 
-Modules in this section have been deprecated at some point in the
-Python 2.x release series but are currently still distributed with
-Python.  Deprecation information is gathered either from PEP 4 or the
-Global Module Index [#pep-0004]_, [#module-index]_.  Each module is
-listed with the Python version of initial deprecation.

+PEP 4 lists all modules that have been deprecated in the stdlib
+[#pep-0004]_.  All modules listed in the PEP at the time of the first
+alpha release of Python 3.0 will be removed.
+
+The entire contents of libold will also be removed.  These modules
+have already been removed from being imported but are kept in the
+distribution for Python for users that rely upon the code.
+
+On top of the modules listed in PEP 4, other modules have been
+documented as deprecated but have yet to be added to PEP 4.
