In 1.0.0RC0, at https://dev.pandas.io/docs/whatsnew/v1.0.0.html#other-enhancements (i.e., the list of enhancements), we list the following: - The pandas.np submodule is now deprecated. Import numpy directly instead (GH30296) - The pandas.datetime class is now deprecated. Import from datetime instead (GH30296) Shouldn't those two lines appear in the deprecations section https://dev.pandas.io/docs/whatsnew/v1.0.0.html#deprecations instead?
