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.
