Just my 2 cents on the PEP rewrite:

u'' support is not just if you want to write code that doesn't use 2to3. Even when you use 2to3 it is useful to be able to flag strings s binary, unicode or "native".

What "native" means in context Python 3 only? "Native" strings only have meaning if we consider Python 2 and Python 3 together. "Native" string is a text string, which was binary in Python 2. There is a flag for such strings -- str().
