Patch looks right to me. I'd personally be ok with applying it to 3.7, but I'll leave the decision to you. Most of the removed "features" are non-controversial, except: - "getchildren()" is probably still in use, also because it's more efficient than "list(elem)" in lxml (and has never been deprecated there), so code that supports both libraries might have preferred it - cElementTree is probably still imported by quite a bit of code So, this will have an impact on user code, despite any previous deprecation warnings. But it's easy to resolve in a backwards compatible way.
