The python-async-timeout (python3-async-timeout) package will be deprecated in Fedora 43. The package provides timeout utilities for asyncio, but as of Python 3.11, its functionality has been integrated into the standard library. Fedora packages should use asyncio.Timeout instead. Many still depend on async-timeout, so we cannot remove it yet. Packagers are encouraged to work with upstream to switch to asyncio.Timeout if possible. A simple try-import mechanism can be applied as a temporary (or even permanent) downstream solution.
