On second thoughts, I think that repr shouldn't change: 'legacy' repr format should mean that it is exactly the same as before, including the switch at 1e17 instead of 1e16. Otherwise there will be 3 possibilities for repr output: 'short' repr, 'legacy' repr and pre-3.1 repr will all be different. Here's a new patch, which leaves repr alone and fixes up the Misc/NEWS entries accordingly.

possibilities for repr output: 'short' repr, 'legacy' repr and pre-3.1 
repr will all be different.
