I believe that was the point of Ziga's example,
which I acknowledged as a good one in my reply.
So there still appears to be this single reason, which
applies if your class may be subclassed.

Does this beg the question of whether __slots__
*should* break with inheritance?

One other question I did not get answered:  is there any
simple example of a Pythonic use of __slots__ that does NOT
involve the creation of **many** instances.

Thanks,
