+Plans for the future
+--------------------
+
+Version 3.4 is the last version in the 3.x range. Version 4.0 will drop the following modules,
+as they are insecure:
+
+- `rsa._version133`
+- `rsa._version200`
+- `rsa.bigfile`
+- `rsa.varblock`
+
+Those modules are marked as deprecated in version 3.4.
+
+Furthermore, in 4.0 the I/O functions will be streamlined to always work with bytes on all
+supported versions of Python.
