Here's what I know:

We don't add features to bug-fix releases. u'' is considered a feature. By not backporting to 3.1 and 3.2 we are not easing the migration pains from 2.x.

Let's say it's 2013 and 3.3 has been out for a few months and you want to port your library to Python 3. Why would you worry about 3.1 or 3.2?

You certainly see why we're not worried about 3.0.
