At this point, I disagree. If I do a search on the web, lots of pages referring to str.splitlines() seem it imply that is splits only on \r and \n. For Python 2 that was correct. I think most people would be surprised by the Python 3 behaviour.
I looked through the Python stdlib and marked any place str.splitlines() was used. I have more research to do yet but I think nearly all of these cases will work better (or perhaps correctly) if str.splitlines is changed.
