I think it makes sense to add unicode_literals everywhere in a big bang before 2.0 RC1,
and wait for the screams. This was discussed a little on
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/189914/2/scripts/cosmetic_changes.py
We can then remove u'...' over time, as part of regular code modifications.
I dont see that removing them particularly helps newcomers; writing a style guide for new
developers is a better approach.
