bpo-46502: Remove "How do I tell incomplete input" from FAQ (GH-30925)
Since,

- Py_CompileString no longer allows to distinguish "incomplete input"
  from "invalid input"
- there is no alternative solution available from the Python C API
  due to how the new parser works (rewritten in 3.9)
- the only supported way is to manually import the codeop module from C
  and use its API as IDLE does, and accept its own complications

it is desirable to remove this Q&A from the official FAQ.

bpo-40939: Remove documentation for `PyParser_*` & add porting notes (GH-26855)
I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

bpo-43723: Deprecate camelCase aliases from threading (GH-25174)
The snake_case names have existed since Python 2.6, so there is
no reason to keep the old camelCase names around. One similar
method, threading.Thread.isAlive, was already removed in
Python 3.9 (bpo-37804).
