The decision will probably rest with the release manager, but Guido
has clearly voiced his opinion. Note that I deliberately removed the
codecs part form the subject, so that we can focus on the fate of
{str,bytes,bytearray}.{transform,untransform} methods. I don't see
any dispute about the fact that adding these methods breaks the
moratorium or any suggestion that a case-by-case exception has been
approved for this particular case. I don't think there is an option
to keep these methods. The two available options are:
1. Revert r86934.
2. Revert C code changes, but keep the codecs and remove references to
transform/untransform from documentation.
