I'd much rather like to see .translate() method deprecated.

Writing a code for the task is much more effective - the
builtin charmap codec will do all the mapping for you,
if you have a need to go from bytes to Unicode and vice-
versa.

We could also have a bytemap codec for doing bytes to bytes
conversions.
