Why not change the wording to read "... will be considered for removal in the next major Python release".

Note that removal of Py_UNICODE APIs will not only break compatibility with Python 2, but also with the early Python 3 releases.

And please also consider that we may see another change in the Unicode implementation... I've heard discussions about using UTF-8 as internal representation to address the issues with the current unified approach.
