As we're moving closer to feature freeze, I'd like to close down this RFC
to further additions, and move towards voting.

Feedback on the proposed deprecations is appreciated. Personally, the two
I'm unsure about are "get_class(), get_parent_class() and
get_called_class() without argument" which are mostly stylistic in nature,
and "strftime() and gmtstrftime()", where the non-portability issues are
possibly not so bad that a disruption of existing users is worthwhile.

Regards,
Nikita
