   Ok, let's start with removing locale.resetlocale(). The locale.getdefaultlocale() function can stay a little bit longer thanks to @methane :-)

   https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/locale.html#locale.getdefaultlocale says:

   Deprecated since version 3.11, removed in version 3.13.

   @vstinner We need to change that "3.13". Do you have an idea how much longer it can stay? Shall we bump it a release or two? Or delete the planned removal version?

   You should ask @methane who was against removing it.

    My gut feeling is +2 years.
    When Python 3.15 is released, Python 3.10 become EOL.

    3.15 sounds reasonable.

    Please see issue #111187 and PR #111188 to bump removal to 3.15.
