Can you elaborate on what you mean with this deprecating/phasing out?

What's your view on dealing with method classes (not necessarily right 
now, but in the future)? Do you think that having separate method 
classes like method-wrapper (for example [].__add__) is good or bad?

Since the way how PEP 580 and PEP 590 deal with bound method classes is 
very different, I would like to know the roadmap for this.
