I hope not, because currently this leaves a hole in the introspection of class attributes.

Is __mro__ aimed primarily at instances and not classes?  That seems to be how it works.  In which case, do we need 
another __mmro__ (or __cmro__ or ...) to handle the mro of classes themselves?

For the short term I can restrict the change to inspect.classify_class_attrs().
