Ok, let's start with removing locale.resetlocale(). The locale.getdefaultlocale() function can stay a little bit longer thanks to @methane :-)

https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/locale.html#locale.getdefaultlocale says:
@vstinner We need to change that "3.13". Do you have an idea how much longer it can stay? Shall we bump it a release or two? Or delete the planned removal version?
vstinner commentedon Oct 20, 2023
You should ask @methane who was against removing it.

My gut feeling is +2 years.
When Python 3.15 is released, Python 3.10 become EOL.

3.15 sounds reasonable.
Please see issue #111187 and PR #111188 to bump removal to 3.15.
