Hmm, who ever said that we are going to drop the current 8-bit string implementation ?
I expect that in Python 3.0 aka Python 3000 we'll have only Unicode strings and byte arrays, so yes, the current 8-bit string implementation will eventually die. Jython and IronPython are ahead of us in this respect...
