I presume such a hook would simply remove 'u' prefixes and would run much faster than 2to3. If such a hook is satisfactory for 3.2, why would it not be satisfactory for 3.3?

Because an import hook is still a lot more complicated than "Write modern code that runs on 2.6+ and follows certain guidelines and it will also just run on 3.3+".

Cheers, Nick.
