Yeah, don't sacrifice speed in str.format for a still-hypothetical-and-potentially-never-going-to-happen bytes formatting variant. If the latter does happen, the use cases would be different enough that I'm not even sure the mini-language should remain entirely the same (e.g. you'd likely want direct access to some of the struct module formatting more so than str-style formats).
