Indeed. If another committer says "please revert and better justify this change" then we revert it. We don't get into commit wars. Something does need to be done to resolve the duplication of functionality between the io and codecs modules, but it is *far* from clear that deprecating chunks of the longer standing API is the right way to go about it. This is especially true given Guido's explicit direction following the issues with the PyCObject removal in 3.2 that we be *very* conservative about introducing additional incompatibilities between Python 2 and Python 3.
