Yeah, I think the use case for assigning to __bases__ has not been shown. I believe we've seen other situations where the initial list of base classes is used in some computation that affects how the class works, so I doubt it has ever been sound.

Though maybe the OP ("VA") has a real use case where they discovered this? Then it would be nice to know about it.
