Some effort needs to be made to clear the standard library of -3 warnings.
Running -3 on production code usually involves exercising library code so
the useful result is obscured by Python complaining about itself. Since
that use case involves the users own tests, I don't think the effort needs
to be extended to our own unittest suite. But the rest of the library could
likely benefit from a good -3 cleanup.
Yes, indeed. We should make sure, however, that the changes in the 2.6
libraries are the absolute minimum to get the job done. (I'm trying to
pretend like this isn't violating the prohibition on all-inclusive
overhauls in the stdlib.)
The prohibition is on *gratuitous* changes, basically along the lines of
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The stdlib is definitely broken if it
raises warnings of that kind.
