Yes it could break old code.
And yes it is not worth changing this class. I missed the
comment.
This was aplphabeticaly the first module with usage of
UserDict and so my first choice for change. :-)
So I close this patch.

Wouldn't this change public cgi classes from old-style to
new-style?  Could it break user subclasses?  Could it break
code relying on the existence of self.data (which is
unfortunately not a private variable name)?  If so, I don't
it is worth changing classes that are already documented as
obsolete.
