I agree with Alan K on this one. For the foreseeable future we are UTF-16 and so will cause the "narrow-build" style of Python to live on. Maybe someday we might go crazy and back our unicode representation with a byte array or something and try to emulate a "wide-build" style, but that would be a ton of work and would leave us diverging from Java. I think for now we can close this.
