There seem to be quite a bunch of high-profile third-party modules relying on this interface, eg. Zope, Plone, TurboGears, and CherryPy. See http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=mimetypes.init+lang%3Apython for a more thorough listing. Given that most of them aren't ported to Python 3 yet, I guess, changing the semantics in 3.x seems not-too-bad to me.
