Because you keep repeating the same insane argument against 3.3.

You have it backwards. 3.3 fixes maltreatment of unicode, such as also 
exists in other languages. re will also run better with 3.3. You have 
not shown any new bugs. Many other languages do not handle extended 
plane characters properly.

On the contrary, there is lots more to say. You have picked out the one 
thing that 3.3 does not do as well and ignored all the things 3.3 does 
better. I and others have already explained many of them. Included is 
that fact that 3.3 does one operation 10, 100, 1000,... times faster 
than 3.2.
