What happened, or is happening, to other parts of the standard library? Why are they going missing?
In Python 3.12, I noticed that some libraries seem to be missing or "deprecated": ``` >>> import asynchat Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'asynchat' >>> import cgi <stdin>:1: DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13 ``` I can still use `cgi` but the warning is still there. I know that I saw these modules documented as part of the standard library before. I know that [`distutils`](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291340), [`tkinter`](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291791) and [`venv`](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291789) are special cases, and that [`pip`](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291787) isn't actually in the standard library. But what's up with these other modules? I checked with others and this seems to be reproducible in every distribution of Python 3.12.
