Nobody is asking for a return to the arbitrary-but- [in]consistent mess of Python 2, only to bring back *one* special case, i.e. None comparing less than everything else.
For a < None, that is only the fallback rule if a does not handle the comparison. The result is a mess, including a possible inconsistency between direct comparison and cmp. See my previous posts.
'Bringing back' what was or an improved version would be a semantic change that could break code and would require a two-version deprecation period.
