If we change PyUnicodeEncodeDecimal() to reject error handlers different than strict, we can keep this function for some release and deprecate it. The function is already deprecated beacuse it uses the deprecated PyUNICODE type.

I'd be fine with removing the function in 3.4. For consistency, it might be better to remove it in 4.0 together with all the other deprecated functions (at least I understood that this was the plan).
