I assume you are referring to <URL:http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196> <URL:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-February/060415.html> As I understand it, **if** reduce, map, and filter "go away", they will go away as built-ins and become available in a ``functional`` module. That said, I think losing reduce as a built-in would be sad. It is math friendly.
