Another pertinent question: "What are disadvantages of PEP 414 is adopted?" It's moot, but as I see it: the purpose of PEP 414 is to facilitate a single codebase across 2.x and 3.x.

The bytes/native/unicode issue is an issue even if you use 2to3. But of course that is a form of "single codebase" so maybe that's what you meant. :-)
