My question is directed more to M-A Lemburg's passage above, and its implicit assumption that the user understand the changes between “Unicode 2.0/3.0 semantics” and “Unicode 6 semantics”, and how their own needs relate to those semantics.

More likely, it'll be a choice between wanting Unicode 6 semantics, and "don't care". So the PEP could include some clues as to why you'd care to use regex instead of re.
