The -U option was added back in 2000, rev 15296 and mention of it was removed in rev 25288. Should the -U option still be handled from the command line?

Yes. The original goal of the -U command line (find out what happens if all strings were unicode) still remains at the moment. It may be sensible to remove it when Python 3 has solved the issue in some other way, but then, removing it may cause unnecessary breakage, so it can just as well stay throughout 2.x.
