(describe-variable 'pi) says it's "Obsolete since Emacs-23.3".
The actual removal of e is here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit?id=993687
And it was marked obsolete here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit?id=9e0d4f
But you can see from the comments that the writing was always in the
wall, since here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit?id=9a0fc3
