I modified my PR to deprecate the feature in Python 3.8. I'm not sure about 
scheduling the removal yet, since the Python 3.9 release schedule is under 
discussion:
 
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-596-python-3-9-release-schedule-doubling-the-release-cadence/1828

I would prefer to give at least 2 years to projects to update their setup.py 
(how they are distributed). Even if bdist_wininst has issues, it's not too 
painful to maintain a few more years. The removal can be decided later.
