Why was the special case for None being "smaller" than all other

For one thing, it is only smallest when it controls the comparison.
>>> class c(object):
... def __lt__(s,o): return True

>>> cc = c()
>>> cc < None
True
Of course,
>>> None < cc
True
Which means that both [cc, None] and [None, cc] are sorted (assuming it
only uses < comparison).
