I'm +1 on the PEP, for reasons already repeated here. We need three types of strings when supporting both Python 2 and Python 3. A binary string, a unicode string and a "native" string, ie one that is the old 8-bit str in python 2 but a Unicode str in Python 3.
Adding back the u'' prefix is the easiest, most obvious/intuitive/pythong/whatever way of getting that support, that requires the least amount of code change, and the least ugly code.
