+    - Add a new concept, "silent deprecation", with associated warning
+      SilentDeprecationWarning.  This warning is normally suppressed,
+      but can be enabled by a suitable -W option.
+
+    - Use silent deprecation for the types and string modules.  This
+      requires providing alternatives for the parts that aren't
+      covered yet (e.g. string.whitespace and types.TracebackType).
+
    - Documentation: complete the distribution and installation
      manuals.
