Is any provision being made for a 2to3 fixer/otherwise-automated transition for the changes you propose here?

As the deprecation is intended for 2.X and 3.X - is 2to3 fixer needed?

A fixer will only be needed when it actually is needed, but when it is, it should be a unittest-name fixer since previous 3.x code will also need fixing. Since the duplicates are multiples names for the same objects, the fixer should be a trivial name substitution.
