Recently, the similar issue1562 "Decimal can't be subclassed useful" was
rejected. In the discussion I found a reference to a former post, which
precisely deals with datetime and timedelta:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-January/300791.html

The main argument is that the """base class has no idea what
requirements may exist for invoking a subclass's constructor"""

All python types behave this way: int, float, lists.
