I don't think we want to recommend using util.promisify over the "built-in" promisified alternative.

Comment on lines 358 to 360
Use [`util.promisify()`][] to create a version that returns a
promise that fulfills with the answer. If the question is canceled using
an `AbortController` it will reject with an `AbortError`.

Don't use [`util.promisify()`][] to create a version that returns a
promise that fulfills with the answer, use `require('readline/promises').createInterface` instead. If the question is canceled using
an `AbortController` it will reject with an `AbortError`.

We can also recommend AbortSignal.timeout()

Since there's a documented promise API, I think we can just delete all the text, or replace it with something like "See [other API][] for a promise-based version of this API."

Yes, removing it could make sense indeed. Worth noting that promise API is still marked as experimental and not available on Node.js <17, so we could expect a large chunk of our users would prefer to rely on util.promisify. Folks who want to support older release lines should check the documentation of the older release line.

Content removed entirely. Does that work well enough, @aduh95?
