564+
565+ 1. This simplifies the high-level API.
566+ 2. The functions in the high-level API have been implicitly getting the
567+ current thread's running event loop since Python 3.7. There isn't a need to
568+ pass the event loop to the API in most normal use cases.
569+ 3. Event loop passing is error-prone especially when dealing with loops
570+ running in different threads.
571+
572+ Note that the low-level API will still accept ``loop ``.
573+ See `Changes in the Python API `_ for examples of how to replace existing code.
