The difference is the underlying methods.  DictMixin depended on 
getitem, setitem, delitem, and keys.  MutableMapping doesn't need keys 
but wants __iter__ and __len__.  Also, DictMixin did not insist on all 
of those being present, while MutableMapping won't let you skip any 
(with delitem being the one most likely omitted).

Perhaps the best we can do is a warning from the DictMixin constructor
in 2.6 when the -3 flag is specified?

We should hold off on this one for a bit until I can get feedback on 
whether UserDict, UserString, and UserList should all be in the same 
place (in the own modules or rolled into collections).
