    when asyncio Tasks are cancelled.  In almost all situations the
    exception must be re-raised.
 
-   .. important::
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.8
 
-      This exception is a subclass of :exc:`Exception`, so it can be
-      accidentally suppressed by an overly broad ``try..except`` block::
-
-        try:
-            await operation
-        except Exception:
-            # The cancellation is broken because the *except* block
-            # suppresses the CancelledError exception.
-            log.log('an error has occurred')
-
-      Instead, the following pattern should be used::
-
-        try:
-            await operation
-        except asyncio.CancelledError:
-            raise
-        except Exception:
-            log.log('an error has occurred')
+      :exc:`CancelledError` is now a subclass of :class:`BaseException`.
