'mapping' in weakrefs unneeded?

I did.  He asked I bring it up on python-dev, which got no response
so I tried here in c.l.py.

I would prefer pre-2.1 since removing a function (which is used
in the docs as an example of how to use weakrefs) after release
will be met with "removing a function breaks existing code"
arguments.
