Some effort needs to be made to clear the standard library of -3 warnings. Running -3 on production code usually involves exercising library code so the useful result is obscured by Python complaining about itself. Since that use case involves the users own tests, I don't think the effort needs to be extended to our own unittest suite. But the rest of the library could likely benefit from a good -3 cleanup.

Yes, indeed. We should make sure, however, that the changes in the 2.6 libraries are the absolute minimum to get the job done. (I'm trying to pretend like this isn't violating the prohibition on all-inclusive overhauls in the stdlib.)
