Feature or enhancement

Inbpo-19555 (#63754),@warsaw deprecated theSO configuration variable insysconfig.py and suggested it could be removed after Python 3.5. It seems that never happened. I looked for other issues and discussions, but didn't find anything since the original report. Please let me know if I missed something!

Per suggestion from@warsaw, I'm creating this issue following a discussion ondiscuss.python.org

Pitch

Removing deprecated code seems like a Good Thing™️. This code has been deprecated for almost 10 years and 7 Python releases.
