No problem.

That's why it's a deprecation process and the removal is schedule for 
later: "3.4 (or maybe later)". I added "or maybe later" before reopening 
a new thread on this list.

> no, I don't think you should change codecs.open() to call io.open()

The PEP is useless without this change. If we don't deprecate any class 
and don't change codecs.open(), it's better to just reject the PEP.

> start deprecating them formally once we feel that most users have switched

Users of codecs.open() or users of codecs.Stream* classes?
