I started reading the PR with my mind made up that I dislike changing this because the hyphen makes things easier to a non-native speaker like myself. However, some time through reviewing the changes I "got it". Indeed, the hyphen is unnecessary for the clear case of adverbs followed by an adjective. So yeah, let's do it. Since this is sweeping, it should be backported. Let's see how many conflicts we get |

Sorry, @nedbat and @ambv, I could not cleanly backport this to |

Since this is a small pervasive change, I'm fine with not back-porting it if it will cause any friction. |

The thing is, not backporting will cause more friction in the long term as it will cause conflicts for other docs backports. It's better to deal with those now. 3.11 applied cleanly, 3.10 had a few conflicts which I just resolved. |
