That's not the question. IIUC, there are already some kind of CJK codecs available; this is a different set of codecs. Unless these new codecs produce the same results, we can't afford to switch. We're not switching codecs since 2.3 doesn't ship with either JapaneseCodecs or CJKCodecs. No one's proposing that 2.3 start doing that now. What we're doing is removing a hardcoded dependency on exactly the JapaneseCodecs, which have to be installed separately anyway. With these change, an end-user could install either JapaneseCodecs or CJKCodecs and the rest of the code would/should work without modification.

Just to make completely sure I understand this: if someone has an existing installation with JapanseCodecs and they upgrade with these code changes, will there be any changes in the way they access codecs or in the results they get?
