Considering that ord() still works fine, I'm not sure why it was done this way.

I agree that this change was unfortunate and not too useful in practice.

Is there code out there that is using this "list of int's" interface, or is there time to make changes to bytes?

I don't doubt there is, and I'm afraid it's far to late to change this.
