Which Commodore format is being removed? Can't find it in the list of PEPs.

Oh man. I will miss ossaudiodev. I used it for a random project many years ago.

It’s interesting to see which modules were set for deprecation but ended up being un-deprecated (de-deprecated?):

  colorsys
  fileinput
  getopt
  optparse
  wave

https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/#modules-to-keep

Seems like the maintainers have been generous in deciding which batteries are not dead yet.

What's the exact motivation for this.

Just ask for more money, no reason Dropbox or Amazon can't pay for development. I'm worried this is going to break some use cases, not everyone has network access to install random pip packages

There's an explanation in the PEP (linked a couple times already).
