The notes are idiosyncratic 😉. If anything in them is meant to be a formal roadmap forward for a subject, we should probably stop and write it out carefully. But...

I thought the plan was to just do this going forward. If we have to go back and do every method we will never do this.

As of 3.5.0 we have computed_zorder: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D.html#mpl-toolkits-mplot3d-axes3d-axes3d. which should allow you to set this manually.

On the face of it, the result looks correct to me, so it seems the documentation is out of date? https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/font_manager_api.html#matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties.get_family

If you ask for the font_family, it seems reasonable to return the font_family?

Yes, I appreciate what the docs say. However, our usual pattern for setter/getters is for them to be reversible, so it would be unusual for `get_family` to return something other...

If this ever behaved differently, it was more than 8 years ago according to git blame. I'll stand by my assertion that this is a documentation error.

I agree we don't use this anymore. OTOH I'm not sure why we would bother deprecating it?

I guess that is my point - it seems useful to provide a geometrical division of the figure without having to manually set all the subplot_params to zero and then...

I spoke up above - I don't see that this is worth a deprecation song and dance, but if you want it out, I'm not blocking.
