Me too, and that's what we'll do in py3k. But in 2.5, we're bound by the decisions we made in 1999-2000 about unicode. (Unless Martin has a convincing reason not to have a warning?)

Only the general anti-warning argument: it's not the developer which will see the warning, but the end user. In this case, they might easily get hundreds of warning in a short time, and these fill their Apache log files. They complain about Python eating their disk space.
