AFAIK, The only porting specific feature is %s as a synonym for %b. Not
pretty, but tolerable. Otherwise, I have the impression that the PEP
pretty much stands on its own.

Or, they should download the source and compile and continue or start
porting as soon as the bytes % is added. Having earlier Windows and Mac
preview binaries might help a tiny bit.
If you are saying that Py3 development should not be driven by Py2
concerns, I agree.
