I also think that a 'b' conversion be added to bytes.format(). This doesn't have the same issue as %b if you make {} implicitly mean {!b} in Python 3.5 as {} will mean what is the most accurate for bytes.format() in either version. It also allows for explicit support where you know you only want a byte and allows {!s} to mean you only want a string (and thus throw an error otherwise).
Given that !b does not exist in Py2, !s (like %s) has to mean bytes when working with a byte stream. Given that, !s and !b would mean the same thing, so it worth adding !b?
