The following deferred PEP seems to have become obsolete due to time/Python marching on:

PEP 349 - Allow str() to return unicode strings
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0349/

As there is now not non-unicode strings anymore (unless I am misunderstanding the PEP).

What should the state of this PEP be updated to?
