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.
