Thank you for working on this issue, Cheryl. Cursor.row_factory is there for backwards compatibility reasons so we can't remove it until we retire Python 2.

For example, pysqlite has already been removed it in version 2.8.0 [1] but they don't have a strict backwards compatibility policy since their user base is much smaller than us and it only supports Python 2.
