hm...I am not sure if the time.strftime() implementation had been 
implemented
with unicode format strings in mind. Accepting Unicode strings (maybe 
without
checking them) appears to me more like  an unintended accident than 
intentional
behavior. I am pretty sure you can build a workaround easily. In my point 
of view
the reason for the change (support for dates outside the usual 1970..2038 
scope)
is more important.
