    The platform.linux_distribution() function has been removed from the future Python 3.8. The removal should be documented in Python 2.7 documentation, and mention the alternative.

    Python 2 documenation:
    https://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution

    Python 3 documentation with the deprecation warning:
    https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution

    IMHO it's too late to deprecate the function from Python 2. We should only add a quick note.

    Function removed in: bpo-28167.
