What was the rationale for this decision?  To me it looks like a hold-
over from the time when dicts were not subclassable.

I agree, this is a topic for python-ideas rather than bug-track, but if 
you could point me to any prior discussions on this issue, it would help 
me to either formulate a specific proposal or drop the issue before more 
electrons are sacrificed.
