[Python-Dev] Python 3.0a documentation

[Guido van Rossum]

I fully support removing all historic references from the 3.0 language
manual. Please do help out! You can just start putting patches ("svn
diff") into bugs.python.org; typically Georg gets to these very
quickly. Do use subversion, not the distributed tarbal (which was out
of date by the time it was uploaded to python.org. :-).
