+In ``importlib.metadata``, restore compatibility in the result from
+``Distribution.entry_points`` (``EntryPoints``) to honor expectations in
+older implementations and issuing deprecation warnings for these cases: A. ``EntryPoints`` objects are once again mutable, allowing for ``sort()``
+and other list-based mutation operations. Avoid deprecation warnings by
+casting to a mutable sequence (e.g. ``list(dist.entry_points).sort()``). B. ``EntryPoints`` results once again allow for access by index. To avoid
+deprecation warnings, cast the result to a Sequence first (e.g.
+``tuple(dist.entry_points)[0]``).
