codecs.open() will be changed to reuse the builtin open() function (TextIOWrapper).
This doesn't strike me as particularly backwards compatible, since you've just enumerated the differences between StreamWriter/Reader and TextIOWrapper. The API of the resulting object is the same (i.e. they're file-like objects). The behavioural differences are due to cases where the codec-specific classes are currently broken.
Yes, but as we all know too well, people are surely relying on whatever behavior there is, broken or not.
