My understanding is the the first 2 fixes refine the deprecation rather

#3 certainly just applies the deprecation.
As for the first two, I don't see any reason to deprecate the
functionality once the issues are resolved. If using utf-8 encoded bytes
is going to work fine in all the same cases as using str, why discourage
it?
As I understand it, you still proposing to remove the use of bytes
encoded with anything other than utf-8 (and the corresponding *A
internal functions) and in particular stop lossy path transformations.
Am I wrong?
