No. Instead, it applies uniformly to all codecs - so in some cases, users may see changes in the behaviour.
Could you give an example ? The only change that I can think of is that setting up aliases to override builtin codecs would start working and that's more like a bug fix than a new feature.
Currently, if somebody defines a codec windows_1252.py, foo.encode("windows_1252") uses this codec. With the proposed change, it uses cp1252.py. To see the behaviour change, no changes to the aliases list is necessary.
