AFAIK, The only porting specific feature is %s as a synonym for %b. Not 
pretty, but tolerable. Otherwise, I have the impression that the PEP 
pretty much stands on its own.

Or, they should download the source and compile and continue or start 
porting as soon as the bytes % is added. Having earlier Windows and Mac 
preview binaries might help a tiny bit.

If you are saying that Py3 development should not be driven by Py2 
concerns, I agree.
