Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:

Prohibiting strings and bytes on the grounds of "Yes they're iterable, but are 
more likely intended as atomic here, so treat them as ambiguous and refuse to 
guess" would be fine. (Although I'll also note the classifier case will already 
fail on upload, since they won't be valid classifiers)

The only part I'm not OK with is upgrading a historically unenforced type 
restriction that only sometimes causes problems into an eagerly enforced one 
that breaks currently working code.
