Is it possible without too much effort to keep the old behavior ('u' -> Py_UNICODE)? Then I'd say that should go into 3.3. The problem with the current behavior is that it's neither backwards compatible nor PEP-3118 compliant. If it is too much work to restore the status quo, we could leave this change with the excuse that 'u' is probably not used very often.
