Agreed for the reasons Raymond cited. As far as the subclass goes, I agree that's a good idea to allow people to readily detect whether they tripped over a normal deprecation or a Py3 only deprecation when running with -3 enabled. As far as naming goes, I agree with Py3kDeprecationWarning since the flag to enable them is called sys.py3kwarning.
