Mainly that indexing returns one character substrings instead of ints. The bytes type is there as an indicator of what bytes literals represent in 2.6 - yes, that's not the same thing as what they represent in 3.0, and no, you don't magically get the benefits of byte/str separation in the 2.x series. Maybe that could be caveat'ed better somewhere in the docs, but it does reflect the reality of the situation.
