Yes. The original goal of the -U command line (find out what happens
if all strings were unicode) still remains at the moment. It may be
sensible to remove it when Python 3 has solved the issue in some
other way, but then, removing it may cause unnecessary breakage, so
it can just as well stay throughout 2.x.
