It's too much additional complexity to resolve a largely theoretical
problem. Since class methods can be shadowed in instances, the fact
they're accessible through the instances really doesn't hurt anything,
and the distinction between a class method and a class only method
would be too subtle to easily explain to anyone not already steeped in
the details of descriptors and metaclasses.

Cheers,
Nick.
