I don't understand the bisect part. Would you mind to elaborate? What do you 
want to bisect?

The "U" mode was deprecated since September 2012 (Python 3.3): you had 8 years 
to handle the DeprecationWarning. 8 years before actually removing a deprecated 
feature sounds like a stable language platform to me.

I'm not sure of the benefit of deferring the change. Does it mean that Sambda 
would not be updated?

Well, your comment fits exactly into bpo-39674 scope, except that revert the 
"U" mode is not scheduled yet.
