I mean: now that raw strings cannot represent all unicode points (or more precisely, they need the file encoding to do so), is there a use case for "raw-unicode-escape" that cannot be filled by the unicode-escape codec? Note that pickle does not use "raw-unicode-escape" as is: it replaces backslashes by \u005c. This has the nice effect that pickled strings can also be decoded by "unicode-escape". That's why I propose to completely remove raw-unicode-escape, and use unicode-escape instead.
