The paragraph was still there in 3.6 https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/asyncio-dev.html#cancellation

[asvetlov]

Yuri, can you take a look?

[1st1]

The cancellation is now discussed in this section:https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html (search for "cancel") and in particular in the Task subsection.

Is there any important detail that was covered in the old documentation and is missing in the new one?

[asvetlov]

I think the issue can be closed
