One of my colleagues implemented recently its own frozendict class (which the "frozendict" name ;-) I write new collection classes all the time. That doesn't mean they warrant inclusion in the library or builtins. There is a use case for ListenableSets and ListenableDicts -- do we need them in the library? I think not. How about case insensitive variants? I think not. There are tons of recipes on ASPN and on PyPI. That doesn't make them worth adding in to the core group of types.

+1.
