:class:`collections.OrderedDict`, :class:`collections.deque`,
:class:`weakref.WeakSet`, and :class:`datetime.tzinfo` now copies and
pickles instance attributes implemented as :term:`slots <__slots__>`.
This change has an unintended side effect: It trips up a small minority
of existing Python projects not expecting :meth:`object.__getstate__` to
exist. See the later comments on :gh:`70766` for discussions of what
workarounds such code may need.
