People should retest their stuff with each micro (bugfix) release anyway. I'm not sure they should. The point of having micro releases is that they don't bring any visible change in behaviour - apart from fixing bugs, that is.

But IMHO, it would be that, or urging people to use 2to3 from a separate source. It does not make sense to keep 2to3 frozen while its target moves forward. Even if it is decided that things should not be removed, 2to3 should warn of new deprecations as Python moves into 3.3, 3.4, and beyond.
