 `@deprecated`
 -------------
 
 The `@typing_extensions.deprecated` decorator (`@warnings.deprecated`
 since Python 3.13) can be used to mark deprecated functionality; see
 [PEP 702](https://peps.python.org/pep-0702/).
 
-A few guidelines for how to use it:
-
-* In the standard library, apply the decorator only in Python versions
-  where an appropriate replacement for the deprecated functionality
-  exists. If in doubt, apply the decorator only on versions where the
-  functionality has been explicitly deprecated, either through runtime
-  warnings or in the documentation. Use `if sys.version_info` checks to
-  apply the decorator only to some versions.
-* Keep the deprecation message concise, but try to mention the projected
-  version when the functionality is to be removed, and a suggested
-  replacement.
-
-Imports
--------
-
-Imports in stubs are considered private (not part of the exported API)
-unless:
-* they use the form ``from library import name as name`` (sic, using explicit ``as`` even if the name stays the same); or
-* they use the form ``from library import *`` which means all names from that library are exported.
-
-Forward References
-------------------
-
-Stub files support forward references natively. In other words, the
-order of class declarations and type aliases does not matter in
-a stub file. Unlike regular Python files, you can use the name of the class within its own
-body without writing it as a comment.
