Is it worth the hassle? We can just port our existing error handlers,

That was my question exactly. As the author of PEP 393, I was leaning
towards full backwards compatibility, but you, Victor, and Guido tell
me not to worry - so I won't :-)
While we need to keep the old api, I do not think we do not need to
encourage its continued use by actively supporting it with new code.
When 3.3 comes out, I think it should be socially OK to write C code
only for 3.3+ by only using the new api.
