API: Remove deprecated astropy.samp subpackage in astropy v10 or later #19874

Open

Description

@pllim

astropy.samp was deprecated in v8.0.0 (#19373). When astropy main branch is tagged for v10.0.dev (at the earliest), this whole subpackage and its docs can be removed (unless you prefer to keep the doc landing page to redirect people to pyvo, we can also do that).

Other maintainer housekeeping items:

    astropy.samp was deprecated in v8.0.0 (#19373). When astropy main branch is tagged for v10.0.dev (at the earliest), this whole subpackage and its docs can be removed (unless you prefer to keep the doc landing page to redirect people to pyvo, we can also do that).

    This raises another good point: maybe we can/should already add a warning box in the docs and point users to pyvo.
    Never mind, I was looking at the incorrect docs version, this is already done for dev
