The doc https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/imp.html says "Deprecated since version 3.4: The imp package is pending deprecation in favor of importlib."

Is it in "deprecated" state, or "pendingdeprecation" state?
Should it just be removed in 3.9?

Maybe I just don't understand the difference of "deprecated" and "pending deprecation" :(

It's deprecated: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/imp.py#L31. The wording is from back when the module was soft-deprecated via documentation before it was hard-deprecated via code. Feel free to tweak it to say "The imp module is deprecated in favor of :mod:`importlib`."
