I wonder what Usenet tools losing nntplib will break?

  Usenet tools can still use older Python versions with nntplib or
  fork from a version of nntplib. Maybe someone will continue to
  maintain nntplib outside of the standard library.

  I write code to access Usenet from Python for my own uses and have
  never used nntplib, I access sockets directly. But, admittedly, my
  code is not general or robust, but it works for the purpose intended.
