+The ``__args__`` of the :ref:`parameterized generic <types-genericalias>` for
+:class:`collections.abc.Callable` are now consistent with :data:`typing.Callable`.
+:class:`collections.abc.Callable` generic now flattens type parameters, similar
+to what :data:`typing.Callable` currently does.  This means that
+``collections.abc.Callable[[int, str], str]`` will have ``__args__`` of
+``(int, str, str)``; previously this was ``([int, str], str)``.  To allow this
+change, :class:`types.GenericAlias` can now be subclassed, and a subclass will
+be returned when subscripting the :class:`collections.abc.Callable` type.  Note
+that a :exc:`TypeError` may be raised for invalid forms of parameterizing
+:class:`collections.abc.Callable` which may have passed silently in Python 3.9.
