-Add :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader` as an ABC to provide a
-unified API for reading resources contained within packages. Loaders
-wishing to support resource reading are expected to implement the
-``get_resource_reader(fullname)`` method.
-
-Also add :mod:`importlib.resources` as the stdlib port of the
-``importlib_resources`` PyPI package. The modules provides a high-level
-API for end-users to read resources in a nicer fashion than having to
-directly interact with low-level details such as loaders.
-
-Thanks to this work, :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceLoader` has now
-been documented as deprecated due to its under-specified nature and
-lack of features as provided by :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader`.
+Add :mod:`importlib.resources` and :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader` as
+the unified API for reading resources contained within packages.  Loaders
+wishing to support resource reading must implement the
+:meth:`get_resource_reader()` method.  File-based and zipimport-based loaders
+both implement these APIs.  :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceLoader` is
+deprecated in favor of these new APIs.
