Comment (by Jon Dufresne):
I can't recall exactly, but I suspect my thinking was along the lines of:
1. After dropping Python 2, `force_text()` & friends would eventually be
removed from Django and replaced by stricter type contracts at the
boundaries. This has proved to be time consuming and difficult to
accomplish, so this isn't yet complete (but we're getting there).
2. `DjangoUnicodeDecodeError` looks like a close duplicate of
`UnicodeDecodeError`. As you pointed out, it is not as it provides more
information. Although, if the Python version is insufficient, perhaps
effort could be spent improving that message.
So, given the above, I'm OK for it to stick around. No need to remove it.
> Maybe the mistake leading to this exception (#5640) isn't common enough
in Python 3 to continue with the special handling?
I suspect that is probably true, but I can't say for certain.
