What's New in Python 3.10 lists many deprecated ssl functions and announces: "will be removed in 3.11" (Python 3.11).
But in the meanwhile, PEP 387 was updated to require a feature to be deprecated for 2 Python releases (Python 3.10 and 3.11), not only a single Python release. Some functions were deprecated way before Python 3.10 (emit a DeprecationWarning).

Oops, right. I propose PR #99023 to update the doc.

The commit 2875c60 deprecated many ssl and hashlib functions in Python 3.10:
They emit a DeprecationWarning in Python 3.10 and 3.11. According to PEP 387, they can now be removed in Python 3.12.
I'm not sure that we should actively remove all of these deprecated features, it should be decided on a case by case basis. Backward compatibility is even more complex when it's about security and old security protocols like SSL and old TLS versions.
