Terry J. Reedy is also concerned about backward compatibility (3.2 -> 3.3). Emiting a warning, disabled by default, is a softer solution :-)
The fact that Mark, Martin, and someone else, I believe, agree with you that the bytes api is not useful at all in 3.x and should go away reduces my concern. This fact does suggest that it is not worth changing anything to make those APIs easier to use. Instead, better to encourage people to not use those APIs in any 3.x code. Removal is ultimately, of course, the hardest solution.
