Not at all: the bahavior Mark explains is only implemented when the class
derives from "object" - a so-called "new-style" class. If there is no such
derivaqtion ("classic" classes) then the behavior is just as it's always
been.

The advantage is that one can create ones own subclasses of the built-in
types from 2.2 onwards.
