What myth? People should indeed be using .format(), but no one said % formatting was going away soon. Also, the suggested change to the docs
wasn't made and the issue is closed. The current docs do not say that % formatting isn't going to be deprecated, but it does mention its
caveats and suggests .format(). If you are trying to say that % formatting will never ever go away, then you are wrong. It is highly
unlikely to go away in a 3.x release, but /may/ get phased out in Python 4.0.
