Although it would require changes for builtin types like file to work with a new string ABC, right?
There is no builtin file type in 3.x. Besides, it is not an ABC-level problem; the IO layer is written in C (although there's still the Python implementation to play with), which would mandate an abstract C API to access unicode-like objects (similarly as there's already the buffer API to access bytes-like objects).
