 Removed C APIs are :ref:`listed separately <whatsnew311-c-api-removed>`.
 
-* :class:`smtpd.MailmanProxy` is now removed as it is unusable without
-  an external module, ``mailman``. (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`35800`.)
+* Removed the :func:`[email protected]` :term:`decorator`
+  enabling legacy generator-based coroutines to be compatible with
+  :keyword:`async` / :keyword:`await` code.
+  The function has been deprecated since Python 3.8 and the removal was
+  initially scheduled for Python 3.10. Use :keyword:`async def` instead.
+  (Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)
+
+* Removed :class:`!asyncio.coroutines.CoroWrapper` used for wrapping legacy
+  generator-based coroutine objects in the debug mode.
+  (Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)
+
+* Due to significant security concerns, the *reuse_address* parameter of
+  :meth:`asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint`, disabled in Python 3.9, is
+  now entirely removed. This is because of the behavior of the socket option
+  ``SO_REUSEADDR`` in UDP.
+  (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45129`.)
 
-* The ``binhex`` module, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
-  The following :mod:`binascii` functions, deprecated in Python 3.9, are now
-  also removed:
+* Removed the :mod:`!binhex` module, deprecated in Python 3.9.
+  Also removed the related, similarly-deprecated :mod:`binascii` functions:
 
-  * ``a2b_hqx()``, ``b2a_hqx()``;
-  * ``rlecode_hqx()``, ``rledecode_hqx()``.
+  * :func:`!binascii.a2b_hqx`

-* The distutils ``bdist_msi`` command, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
+* Removed the :mod:`distutils` ``bdist_msi`` command deprecated in Python 3.9.
   Use ``bdist_wheel`` (wheel packages) instead.

-* The following deprecated functions and methods are removed in the :mod:`gettext`
-  module: :func:`~gettext.lgettext`, :func:`~gettext.ldgettext`,

-
-  Function :func:`~gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset`, methods

-  :meth:`~gettext.NullTranslations.set_output_charset`, and the *codeset*
-  parameter of functions :func:`~gettext.translation` and
-  :func:`~gettext.install` are also removed, since they are only used for
-  the ``l*gettext()`` functions.
+* Removed the deprecated :mod:`gettext` functions
+  :func:`!lgettext`, :func:`!ldgettext`,

-* Remove the undocumented private ``float.__set_format__()`` method, previously
