I'm pretty sure the distutils docs for Python 3.4 don't need to describe how to make packages compatible with Python < 2.2.3.

I know that these docs are deprecated in favour of the Python packaging guide, but I still look at them at times, and this is embarrassing.

I also removed it in my patch for issue 19610.
