This could be clearer. I'm not sure if it's telling me that they will be removed in 3.12, or if they are marked as "pending removal" (i.e. deprecated?) in 3.12.

Perhaps:

The following APIs have been deprecated in earlier Python releases, 
and will be removed in Python 3.12.

There's the possibility that removal will be delayed, but I think the stronger language is OK as it covers the vast majority of cases (if it isn't, we could go back to "are scheduled for removal in ...")

I prefer to be more explicit: "will be removed in Python 3.12" sounds more concrete. It's ok if one of these function is kept. We can update the Python 3.11 doc if needed.

Agreed with @vstinner ; its much better that users assume they will be removed and update their code accordingly and then the removal be deferred a version than the inverse.
