Deprecated Cookie classes in Py3k

I've noticed that some classes in Cookies module (namely SerialCookie and
SmartCookie) deprecated since 2.3 still present in Python3000 documentation.
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/http.cookies.html

Is it because ... ?:
1. Docs are not synchronized with API
2. Classes are not removed yet
(http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py3kDeprecatedis actually a TODO)
3. Manual reference should contain information about all historical API
changes

It was most likely an oversight on my part. I've now removed the classes
from the 3000 module.

Thanks,
Georg

Nice! =) If you're up to fixing the docs, could you, please, also review the
fresh issue about this module.
http://bugs.python.org/issue2988

Browsers allow to create invalid (non RFC) cookies rather easily and they
crash python web scripts on the same domain, because developers usually not
aware of this problem to catch the exception. There is a test case and
several proposals for workarounds in Cookie (http.cookies) module.
