This seems to be the crux of the disagreement: our perceptions of the relative risks to native Windows Python applications that currently work properly on Python 3.5 vs the potential compatibility benefits to primarily *nix applications that currently don't work on Windows under Python 3.5.

As I already wrote once, my problem is also tjat I simply have no idea how much Python 3 code uses bytes filename. For example, does it concern more than 25% of py3 modules on PyPi, or less than 5%?

Having an idea of the ratio would help to move the discussion forward.
