asyncio.start_unix_server() cleanup_socket defaulting to true in 3.13 is not documented #134664
Description
Activity
I am currently not home but I can create a pr when I get home.
Note that 3.12 is security-only so we will not change the docs for 3.12 (even if they are incorrect), sorry. We will however change them in 3.13+.NVM, the feature is only 3.13+

Documentation
In 3.13 a feature where unix sockets are automatically cleaned up was added in asyncio. It was seen as a compatibility break but was recent enough that we could not do anything specifically about it at the time. We were able to come to the agreement however, that the change, being breaking, needed to be documented but wasn't.
