I think the current consensus is to keep old APIs around to make porting from Python 2 easier. That's why I opened issue 26041.

See also msg256111 and "Deprecation policy PEP" proposed at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2016-January/003706.html

If Marc-Andre (platform module maintainer) and Ned give their +1s, I don't have a strong objection against the removal of the function.

Also, it looks like I forgot to remove deprecated-removed directive in 5d9f961edc30: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution
