It's more about moving to Python 2.6 syntax *only*.  eg, using 'bytes' or
memory views etc as porting aids isn't that useful when targetting earlier
versions.  Further, I meant "deal breaker" in a figurative sense - ie, not a
real blocker, just an extra complication than what the "general" porting
guide might bother considering - but by implication, something that might be
worth addressing *somewhere*; eg, I'm finding '.encode('ascii')' a
reasonable porting aid for bytes objects in many 'demo' byte literal cases,
such as appending \0 chars, etc.

'Cheers'.encode('ascii'), ly,
