PEP 585: clarify removal as "no sooner than" #2778
Conversation
See https://discuss.python.org/t/concern-about-pep-585-removals I mentioned the date explicitly so people not familiar with Python release schedule have less arithmetic to do. I also change the phrasing of the date to Python 3.9's EOL. The date remains the same. This is important because it clarifies that you don't have to write bridging code. This should also be in line with ambv's (original author) intentions; see bolded part of his message at https://discuss.python.org/t/concern-about-pep-585-removals/15901/14

I don't really want it to say "will be removed" at all as I don't really want to ever remove it. Can we say "may eventually be removed" instead?

Sure.
@JelleZijlstra How's it sound now, good to merge?

I mentioned the date explicitly so people not familiar with Python
release schedule have less arithmetic to do.
I also change the phrasing of the date to Python 3.9's EOL. The date
remains the same. Again, this is to help ease fear of writing 3.8 bridging
code for people who don't know Python version lifespan.
