I'm not saying we remove getfullargspec() **right now**, just that we don't 
keep it around long-term as it simply can't evolve to keep up with how rich our 
parameter support is today and might become in the future. And that's why, for 
me, the deprecation was enough to signal, "this code is here for now and you 
can use it, but you really need to be aware of some issues that are leading to 
it being removed". Now obviously you prefer the doc approach for this, Nick, 
and that's fine since this is quickly devolving into "agree to disagree" as 
while "there are plenty of other standard library APIs that we keep around 
primarily for backwards compatibility reasons", I personally would say we 
should be prepared to deprecate them for Python 4 (which is what I'm talking 
about here, not e.g. 3.8).
