Comment (by ncohen):

 > I found a lot of places in the graphs stuff where `Sum(...) + Sum(...)`
 occurs. As soon as one of the sums returns ``None`` this will raise a
 `TypeError`.

 And if it never did, it may be because there is mathematical reason for
 that, or did you make sure of the opposite ?

 > And the problem is precisely that it can't return
 `MixedIntegerLinearProgram.base_ring()` because that requires an instance
 of `MixedIntegerLinearProgram`.

 How come you ignored my question about returning int(0) ?

 > Right now the Sum is just deprecated, so you have at least a year to
 replace `Sum()` -> `p.sum()`. Which is a pretty simple search&replace. No
 code will break with this patch, you only get a deprecation warning the
 first time that you use `Sum`.

 Nice.

 > We will remove the hardcoded RDF in #13650, so its just a matter of time
 until its gone. Its not an option to hardcode RDF in Sum in the long run.

 It has been an option to not have a base ring at all for a very long while
 now.
