Please keep this one as it's something that has been changed in 3.8 so the note is correct. However, add a node indicating when those fields have been removed.

Fair enough. I've restored and reworded in 2d39992

.. deprecated-removed:: 3.8 3.14

Old classes :class:`!ast.Num`, :class:`!ast.Str`, :class:`!ast.Bytes`,
:class:`!ast.NameConstant` and :class:`!ast.Ellipsis` are still available,
but they will be removed in future Python releases. In the meantime,
instantiating them will return an instance of a different class.
Previous versions of Python provided the AST classes :class:`!ast.Num`,
:class:`!ast.Str`, :class:`!ast.Bytes`, :class:`!ast.NameConstant` and
:class:`!ast.Ellipsis`, which were deprecated in Python 3.8. These classes
were removed in Python 3.14, and their functionality has been replaced with
:class:`ast.Constant`.

.. deprecated:: 3.9
