https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/

The SC has asked that all modules deprecated by PEP-594 have the documented deprecation backported. The message should also not have any specific removal version to avoid any potential delay, but then making the bugfix-only docs incorrect.

The first PR for documenting the modules is up. Once this gets merged and backported I will add a helper function in warnings and then make the appropriate code changes.
