On this page: https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#text-encoding it says "there is no concrete plan as of yet, Python may change the default text file encoding to UTF-8 in the future". On this page https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#utf8-mode is says that from 3.7 onwards UTF-8 will be selected by default. Does that mean that the text in the first section is now outdated, as it was addressed by PEP 540? I'm a newbie, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious or filing this in the wrong spot.
