Regarding the "What's New" entry: while Victor said in https://bugs.python.org/issue40680#msg371651 to drop support for AIX 5 in 3.10, the AIX 5 breaking change was actually done in 3.9 (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.9.html#time) so I have added the entry for 3.9 instead. I separated that change in to a separate commit for ease in manual backporting to 3.9 while leaving the actual code removals in 3.10+. |

You must update Doc/whatsnew/3.10.rst, Python 3.9 is already released.

Support for AIX 5.3 and below was removed in Python 3.9 when bpo-40680 was not fixed. Do you not issue errata?

If you want to update the What's New in Python 3.9 document, please write a separated PR. This PR cannot be backported to the 3.9 branch since it contains other changes.

AIX 5 or AIX 5.3? Please make the NEWS entry and What's New consistent.

As AIX 5 and below do not support thread_cputime, it was decided in https://bugs.python.org/issue40680 to require AIX 6.1 and above. This commit removes workarounds for — and references to — older, unsupported AIX versions.

I did leave a few references to older AIX versions, but those are either
generated by autotools or are of historical documentation and not code.
