Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment:

I agree this automatic conversion is broken and should be fixed.  Not sure if 
emitting a DeprecationWarning now and fixing it 18 months later is the right 
thing, especially since DeprecationWarnings are now silent.
As Victor says, the incompatibility is explicit, and the fix is simple and 
fully backwards compatible, while the current behavior will cause nasty 
intermittent surprises.
