If this can encourage more projects to support Python 3 (even if it's only 3.3 and later) and hence improve adoption of Python 3, I'm all for it.

A small quibble: I'd like to see a benchmark of a 'u' function implemented in C. --Guido

After having this explained quite a bit to me by the more web-savvy folks such as Armin and Chris M/etc, I am a +1, the rationale makes sense, and much for the same reason that Guido cites, I think this will help with code bases using the single code base approach, and assist with overall adoption.

+1
