It makes me sad too, and as I've said, I personally have no problem with the
existing solutions.  They work just fine for me.

But I also consistently hear from folks doing web frameworks that there's a
big missing piece in the Python 3 story for them.  Maybe restoring u-prefix
solves their problem, or maybe there's another better solution out there.  I
don't do a lot of web development these days so I can't say.
