surprising ;-)
Kind regards,

Why do you think they should still be kept?

I initially thought of this also, for +- the reason Steve gives. But
PEP 8 still specifically applies to the stdlib and we only edit 3.6+.
So I agree with Eric.
We could add (perhaps at the end of the first paragraph) something like
"(Since the 2.x stdlib is frozen, all 2.x-specific guidelines were
removed in Sept 2021.)" Anyone interested could then check git log for
the last commit before then. And everyone would know that what follows
is for 3.x.
