I'm happy to go with this, since my libraries still do the 2/3 straddle.
Do we want to set a date/version where we will drop code that only
exists to make 2/3 projects easier?
How about when the last major Linux distro with Python 2 reaches end of
general support? According to Wikipedia that would be 2023 for Ubuntu
18.04 LTS, 2024 for RHEL 8.0, and 2028 for SUSE SLES 15.
I agree we should wait a long time before removing the 'u' prefix. If
I'm using a library that uses 'u', but that library is no longer
maintained, when do we want to break my app, just because I use this
library? Given that 'u' requires so little code to implement, I don't
see what's to be gained by removing it. Maybe document it as deprecated
(and why), but that's about it.
