I'm not sure that I understood. Do you consider that using
codecs.open() with a non-text codecs is a "legit" use case or not?
I understood that you suggest a smoother transition using a
deprecation to give more time to developers to update their code.
But what do you want to deprecate? The whole codecs.open() function?
Or using non-text codecs with codecs.open()? Or using text codecs with
codecs.open()?
