You're right, but not in the details.

Being iterable (whether via __iter__ or via the old-style sequence protocol) 
makes you a container. But, again, false negatives for Container aren't a 
problem.

But blocking that by setting __contains__ = None makes you a Container but not 
a container, the same kind of false positive as #25864. That's exactly why I 
split off this bug from that one--that one only fixes __iter__ and 
__reversed__, but it's possible that a more general solution is needed. (Or, of 
course, maybe we don't need anything more general, we just need to expand it to 
__iter__, __reversed__, and __contains__.)
