[Python-Dev] [Python-3000] Warning for 2.6 and greater

It is my strong preference that we not go down this path.  
Instead, the 2.6 vs 3.0 difference analysis should go in an 
external lint utility.

The Py2.x series may live-on for some time and should do so
as if Py3.x did not exist.  Burdening the 2.x code with loads
of warnings will only clutter the source code and make maintenance 
more difficult.  There may also be some performance impact.

We should resolve that Py2.6 remain as clean as possible
and that Py3.0 be kept in its own world.  Forging a new
blade does not have to entail dulling the trusty old blade.
