Guido rethinking removal of cmp from sort method

[Steven D'Aprano]

The removal of cmp from the sort method of lists is probably the most 
disliked change in Python 3. On the python-dev mailing list at the 
moment, Guido is considering whether or not it was a mistake.

If anyone has any use-cases for sorting with a comparison function that 
either can't be written using a key function, or that perform really 
badly when done so, this would be a good time to speak up.
