I think this is over-explaining an implementation detail and it makes the docs for id() harder to understand. Possibly there can be a FAQ entry about identity but the id() function itself is no place to go into the quirks of when new objects are created or destroyed. Also, "getting confused" is often a step in the learning process -- it can't be taken out entirely.
