Still need to revert the parameters in the tests. But before doing that, I'd like to get feedback on the proposal. |

This is reverting a deprecation so it needs to get done before it goes out. |
This is up for debate: I'm only +0.2 here. The renaming was done in matplotlib#27901, which renamed the parameter `labels` to `tick_labels` for `boxplot()` and `bxp()`. One can take two views here: - If `boxplot_stats()` is specifically for the input of `bxp()`, one can justify the renaming as being consistent with the `bxp()` signature. Note however, that the returned dict still contains the key "label" for back-compatibility. So that brings us an inconsistency between the parameter name and the returned dict key. - One can alternatively view `boxplot_stats()` as a generic function to define box parameters. Here, we'd only have a general `label` for the boy and no information that this should be used as tick label. If we could make a clean transition and also rename the dict key, I would tend to go with the first view. But the inevitable inconsistency of the fist view let's me sway towards the second view, so that with the revert, we've effectively not touched `boxplot_stats()`.
