None of the code I've written which straddles Python 2/3 supports
anything except Python 3.2+, and likewise I expect that for the next
crop of porters/straddlers, their code won't support anything but Python
3.3+.  So there is a point, which is to make it easier for people to
port code that can straddle the most recent Python 3 release as well as
2.7/2.6.

In that context, I don't see much relevance of having no support for u''
in Python 3.2.
