I'm afraid I cannot find anything real either, so maybe it's not really
true. I remember this from a talk by guido I watched a while ago.
Some vague support of my memory:

Hello,
While writing one of my classes, I needed to factor out some bits of
functionality into private, instance-independent functions. To avoid
supplying any extra arguments to these functions, I have made them
into static methods using the @staticmethod decorator.
However, Tom has pointed out [0] that @classmethod would be preferable
instead. I have tried to google why that would be the case, but I
haven't managed to dig anything out. Grepping over the source of
SymPy reveals the usage of @staticmethod on occasions almost as
numerous as those where @classmethod is used.
Is there a fixed strategy when to use one of the two decorators in
SymPy?
