The notice was read as deprecating
xml.etree.ElementTreeitself, because the page does not mentioncElementTreeanywhere else, so there is nothing to tell the reader that it is only an alias.Saying that the alias is deprecated is enough to scope it.
This revives GH-144459, which was closed for reasons unrelated to its content.
