Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I didn't disagree with you.  The swap bodies implementation technique is not 
expected and is exploitable in a number of ways.

What outcome to you want?  Eliminate the implicit set-to-frozenset conversion 
feature; introduce a non-mutating version that copies the entire set; or just 
document that the automatic conversion is non-atomic, temporarily mutating, and 
not thread-safe?

Personally, I've never been convinced of the value of this feature and would 
not feel sad to have it removed.
