Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Guido approved removing __builtin__.cmp() in 3.0.1.  It was supposed to
have been taken out but was forgotten.

With respect to the DRY principle, I disagree about its utility here. 
The code is so simple that it doesn't warrant cross-module
factorization.  It is a better goal to minimize dependencies.
