The note directive is too loud. If we don't want to attract special attention to an important note, we usually write a note as a plain text.
Should not there be a versionchanged directive for this change?

So we want to just add this as a normal text to the method. The versionchanged would probably be 2.x or 1.x, do we really want to search for the exact version?

I agree with just adding as normal text, without the .. note:: directive. I think if the parameter really has been unused for 25 years, it's okay to not have a .. versionchanged directive.

We only add versionadded directives for 3.x changes. If it has been always unused in Python 3, no versionadded directive is needed. But mention this in the commit message.

The commit message into main is generated when the PR is squash merged so I don't think I can do that now.

Either I or Serhiy (whoever merges this) will have the ability to edit the commit message when squash-merging the PR

BTW, Note is usually formatted as ``Note``.

The "# XXX 'arg' is no longer used" comment referred to in #118359 (comment) appears to be this one: Line 126 in 98739c9 The comment appears to have been there for 25 years. Just to make sure I understand correctly: does that mean that this parameter has been unused for 25 years? |
Maybe. I know that argument is not used since I started playing with |

Thanks @gaogaotiantian for the PR, and @AlexWaygood for merging it 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.12. |
The `argument_list` parameter of bdb.Bdb.user_call has been useless for 25 years. It is retained for backwards compatibility, but it will always be None. (cherry picked from commit 8e4fb5d) Co-authored-by: Tian Gao <gaogaotiantian@hotmail.com>
