Right. Subtypes of a non-GC type can happily add attributes and start supporting cyclic garbage collection, including Python subclasses. So this only applies to "final" types and builtins. Not entirely uncommon, especially in the "keep this private thing alive until all referrers have died" use case, but I's say this restriction drops the priority a bit.
