It makes me sad too, and as I've said, I personally have no problem with the existing solutions. They work just fine for me.

But I also consistently hear from folks doing web frameworks that there's a big missing piece in the Python 3 story for them. Maybe restoring u-prefix solves their problem, or maybe there's another better solution out there. I don't do a lot of web development these days so I can't say.
