Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

The PR changes the meaning of assertCountEqual. https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertCountEqual says: Equivalent to: assertEqual(Counter(list(first)), Counter(list(second))) ...

At the very least, the documentation would need to be updated. But since this could be a breaking change, I don't think it will be accepted.
