That’s a bit of a ridiculous statement, there’s a small number of very-long deprecated modules removed in 3.12, and some more recently deprecated modules in 3.13. And these things are old, largely or completely unmaintained, and usually complete obsolete.
I’d be surprised if anyone has a script that’s been adversely effected by this, and if they did it’s because they stopped maintaining it years ago (and also chose to both silence warnings and upgrade interpreter versions without reading the release notes).
