I've had many of the problems Nick states and I'm also +1.
There are two code snippets below which were taken from the standard library.

My issues are with 'bytes', not 'bytearray'. 'bytearray(10)' actually makes sense. I certainly have no problem with
bytearray and bytes not being exactly the same.
My primary issues with bytes is not being able to do b'abc'[2] == b'c', and with not being able to do x = b'abc'[2]; y =
bytes(x); assert y == b'c'.
And because of the backwards compatibility issues I would deprecate, because we have a new 'better' way, but not remove,
the current functionality.
I pretty much agree exactly with what Donald Stufft said about it.
